The Center Study on Federalism Foundation (FCSF) has an original placing in the field of research institutions in Italy. As advisor to the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation, it addresses its action on topics in international relations and geopolitics, such as:

  • European Integration;
  • Transatlantic Relations;
  • Mediterranean Relations;
  • Geopolitics and Technology

These are interdependent and interdisciplinary areas, on which the CSF Foundation simultaneously conducts its own research activities.

European Integration

To promote and renew the process of European integration.

To support the process of European integration with analysis, debate and information activities, being aware that the European dimension is the space in which we work.

Transatlantic Relations

Reinforcing Transatlantic Relations

Provide opportunities for a better understanding of the public policies in a transatlantic perspective (energy security, infrastructure, urban policies).

Geopolitics and Technology

Exploring the geopolitical implications of technological development

Technological development, from the spread of cyberspace, is increasingly emerging as a field of competition between major powers and beyond. Challenges as well as disputes in technology are now spreading across a plurality of fields and represent areas of increasing vulnerability for many countries. Systems-nations are finding themselves exposed to new external dependencies and interferences: the ability to access raw materials essential for their production systems and infrastructure and the impact these limitations have on their industrial capacities and production chains, but also challenges to democracy (control over citizens, interference in electoral processes, fake news). In the Geopolitics and Technology field, the CSF Foundation aims to explore the geopolitical implications raised by technological development and in particular by the digital revolution, to contribute to the dissemination among the public and among decision-makers of a better awareness of the importance of the emerging technologies in the current international scenario, and to promote interdisciplinary discussion on the issue of global geopolitical strains existing among the many actors involved in technological development.
