Stiftung Ordnungspolitik

The foundation Stiftung Ordnungspolitik is a non-profit organization dealing with the ordoliberal tradition of the Freiburg School of Economics. It strives to maintain and further develop ordo-economics based on the ideas of Walter Eucken and Friedrich August von Hayek.

The foundation drafts practical policy options on the basis of the continued academic development of ordo-economics and promotes public awareness for the meaning of ordoliberal thinking.[1] To this end, it regularly invites politicians, scientists and economists such as, for instance, Angela Merkel,[2] Axel A. Weber,[3] Kurt Beck,[3] Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg[4] or Cem Özdemir.[2]

The foundation was established in December 1999 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Walter Eucken’s death.[1]

The Centrum für Europäische Politik (CEP) is the foundation’s think tank on the policy of the European Union.[5] The Centre fulfils the foundation’s tasks for all issues of European decision-making: It analyses major EU policy projects in terms of ordoliberal criteria in order to inform and consult politics, media and the public.

Chairman of the executive boards of Stiftung Ordnungspolitik and Centrum für Europäische Politik is Dr. habil. Lüder Gerken. Members of the board of trustees are Roman Herzog, Hans Tietmeyer, Leszek Balcerowicz and Frits Bolkestein.
