NATO is a transatlantic alliance that brings North America and Europe together. She is an important player in international security policy and has helped to preserve peace in Europe and North America for many years. One of the things that makes NATO special is its collective commitment to mutual defence. This gives it a unique strength and credibility as a deterrent against potential attackers. Until the Ukraine conflict, NATO as a security and defence alliance hardly played a role in most people's public perception. However, with the aggressor Russia and its geopolitics, we have been made aware of the importance of defense and securing freedom. With the module NATO - An Alliance for Security and Peace - we want to bring you closer to the international alliance and explain the unique and important alliance.

International cooperation determines our day-to-day interactions. The war in Ukraine shows that peace cannot be taken for granted. In view of the war of aggression, peaceful coexistence in security has become an even more important concern for us as the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. Here we create digital content for you about international cooperation and cooperation. Multilateralism. We want to introduce you to the basics of international cooperation. The United Nations, as well as NATO and the EU, play a decisive role as important security policy organisations. Have fun exploring!

The economy in a country follows certain rules, the so-called economic order. Governmental, social and economic objectives must be reconciled. Our economic system, the social market economy, which orients us in Germany and now also in the European Union, dates back to the reign of Konrad Adenauer (Chancellor 1949-1963). Ludwig Erhard, the Minister of Economic Affairs in the first German government, made the phrase "prosperity for all" very famous. In the social market economy, the state has the task of making political corrections and working towards social balance.
