In this contribution to the Bulletin 2021, Lisa Watanabe examines current challenges and opportunities for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in the context of Secretary General Thomas Greminger's mandate, which ended in 2020, and the increasing polarization among OSCE member states. In addition, it refers to the CSS publication "Multilateralism in Transition", which was published in the summer of 2021 on the same topic. The five main messages of this publication regarding consensus-building within the OSCE, its long-term focus on conflict resolution and new challenges for the organization are summarized in this contribution.
