Democracy is not a definitive form of organization, but a state of collective lucidity. It does not belong to the institutions, but to the people who decide, every day, not to abdicate reason and decency. A community becomes truly free not when it has perfect laws, but when it produces people who don't need fear to be fair.
About
Since 2002 the work of International institute IFIMES is a reflection of our common reality and the need for the world to reach common solutions. Common interests and bonds among different policies, nations, religions, world regions and diverse interest parties are essential. The area of research and work of International institute IFIMES is the Middle East (MENA- Middle East and North Africa) and the Balkans (South-Eastern Europe), where relations among different entities are additionally puzzled by religious, ethnic, national and racial grounds. IFIMES has special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council ECOSOC/UN since 2018. IFIMES is also the publisher of the international scientific journal European Perspectives.
