Reignite Multilateralism via Technology (REMIT)

REMIT项目旨在通过技术重振多边主义。多边主义受到攻击，欧盟夹在美国和中国之间。虽然多边主义的衰落对欧盟的影响有很多方面，但最麻烦的莫过于技术竞争。首先，因为该行业对经济竞争力的影响以及技术在经济体中的规模。其次，科技对国家安全和未来威胁至关重要，包括对民主原则的威胁。第三，技术对于解决全球挑战至关重要。REMIT将创造知识，产生政策建议和战略，支持欧盟在四个关键政策领域重新构想多边治理：数字，生物技术，安全和国防以及金融技术。通过将倡导联盟框架应用于具体的子系统，REMIT研究人员创造了这种知识。策略子系统是ACF的分析单元。它的特点是有三个组成部分：政策问题或议题;试图影响该政策的行为者的范围;以及决策的领土范围或权力。REMIT专家专注于从其专业知识中产生的子系统，分析每个子系统中的紧张关系和辩论，并定义欧盟当前的角色。了解现状使下一步成为可能推断想法并提出前进的途径。在与欧盟官员举行的创新情景测试研讨会上，重要的区域集团（例如，南方共同市场、东盟和非洲联盟）和国家官员，REMIT将制定政策建议，通过技术重新点燃多边主义。这种重新点燃不仅是对中国崛起为系统性技术竞争对手、俄罗斯崛起为技术滥用者或美国大型企业的主导地位的反应。基于数字平台，但这为未来设定了一个明确的愿景-欧洲在其中发挥主导作用。

The REMIT project aims to Reignite Multilateralism via Technology. Multilateralism is under attack and the EU is caught between the U.S. and China. While there are many ways that the decline in multilateralism affects the EU, none is more troublesome than rivalries in technology. Firstly, because of the sector’s impact on economic competitiveness and the size within economies that tech occupies. Secondly, tech is important to national security and future threats, including threats to democratic principles. Thirdly, technology is crucial to the solutions for global challenges. REMIT will create knowledge that generates policy recommendations and strategies that support the EU in reconceptualizing multilateral governance in four crucial policy areas: digital, biotechnology, security and defense, and financial technologies. REMIT researchers create this knowledge by employing the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) to specific subsystems. The policy subsystem is the ACF’s unit of analysis. It is characterized by three components: the policy problem or issue; the scope of actors seeking to influence that policy; and a territorial domain or authority for policymaking. REMIT experts focus on subsystems that emerge from their expertise, analyzing the tensions and debates within each as well as defining the EU’s current role. Knowing the status quo makes the next step possible—to extrapolate ideas and to suggest pathways forward. In innovative scenario testing workshops with EU officials, important regional groupings (e.g., Mercosur, ASEAN, and African Union) and national officials, REMIT will develop policy recommendations that will give a remit to reignite multilateralism via technology. A reigniting that not only reacts to China’s rise as a systemic technology rival or Russia’s rise as a technology abuser or the dominance of large U.S.-based digital platforms, but that sets a clear vision for the future—one in which Europe plays a leading role.
