The European Centre for International Affairs (ECIA) is a Brussels-based independent, non-profit, policy think tank. ECIA’s core mission is to provide innovative analyses of global issues from a European perspective. Policymakers today are faced with the challenge of a complex and globalized politics in which resource, human and societal issues are inextricable. ECIA’s work is built on the belief that meeting these challenges sustainably in the long run requires reconciling Europe’s interests with its values. ECIA’s job is to provide policymakers with support policymakers in searching for, and evaluating viable alternatives capable of striking this balance.
