Als virtueller Think Tank und globales Netzwerk von Autoren und Analysten arbeitet der Global Ideas Center jedes Jahr mit einer Reihe von GIC Fellows zusammen, die die Hauptautoren unserer Publikationen sind. Ihre Beiträge werden von Stephan-Götz Richter, dem Direktor des Global Ideas Center, koordiniert und vom redaktionellen Produktionsteam des GIC unterstützt.

In the fall of 1990, at the request of the U.S. Senator Bill Bradley, he drafted the Sense of the U.S. Senate resolution calling for forgiveness of Poland’s Communist-era public debt. It proved a crucial step in the successful conclusion of the April 1991 Debt Agreement in the Paris Club.
For those activities, he was awarded the Cross of the Order of Merit by the President of Poland in June 2014, as part of the country’s celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the arrival of freedom.
