Mission Statement<\/h2>

European Values Center for Security Policy is a non-governmental, non-partisan institute defending liberal democracies against dictatorships since 2005.<\/h3>

Through its malign activities People’s Republic of China is threatening liberal democracies across Europe and Indo-Pacific. Our mission is to analyze these threats, provide actionable policy recommendations and advocate them among our political, security, and business leaders.<\/p>

The work of the European Values Center for Security Policy upholds the principles which have been evolving in Europe for centuries and gave birth to political institutions of liberal democracies. To us, \u201cEuropean values\u201d mean three fundamental values that embody the pillars of the liberal democratic way of government: personal freedom, human dignity, and equality. We believe that democracies in all their diversities should not be strategically dependent on dictatorships and authoritarian regimes and therefore, democratic alliances should be built and strengthened. With our headquarters in Prague, our objective is to build trusted alliances between European and Indo-Pacific like-minded partners against the common threats. As the first European think tank to have established a permanent office in Taiwan, we are uniquely positioned to foster closer cooperation between democratic actors in the two regions. \u00a0<\/p>

To meet these goals, we pursue research and educational activities. In addition to publishing analytical papers and commentaries for the media, we organize and work in partnership to organize conferences, seminars, networking meetings and training sessions for professionals.<\/p>

Name<\/h2>

The name\u00a0 \u2018European Values\u2019 refers to the basic principles which have been evolving in Europe for centuries and gave birth to political institutions of liberal democracy. Such institutions can be found in Northern America, Australia and at many other places all over the world. In our terms, the \u2018European values\u2019 are the \u2018values of Western civilisation\u2019.<\/p>

Logo<\/h2>

Winged Pegasus in a jump is the main symbol of our logo. It represents vitality and strength of a horse combined with lightness and freedom of a bird. This is the way we aim to contribute to the public debate. Pegasus, on which heroic Bellerofont\u00e9s defeated monstrous Chimera (symbolising delusion), concurrently refers to the Ancient Greece. It is the thoughts of Ancient Greek philosophers together with Roman laws and Jewish-Christian tradition that create the three main roots of the European (Western) civilisation.<\/p>
