Open Society Foundations Germany - Report - Shrinking Space in Germany, Shrinking Space in Europe

This paper gives an overview over recent restrictions for civil society in Germany and selected EU Member States.

It illustrates legal requirements and support for civil society engagement stemming from EU level and translates these requirements into concrete recommendations for German policy makers, thereby showing what Germany must do in order to live up to its role model function as an international advocate for democracy, fundamental rights, the rule of law and for a strong European civil society.
