This CSS Study examines the challenges that the broad context of the backdrop of the global crisis of multilateralism and increased geopolitical polarization poses for the OSCE and how it has responded to them. It also highlights the opportunities that have emerged. First-​hand insights into the challenges faced by Swiss Ambassador, Thomas Greminger, who acted as the OSCE Secretary General from 2017–2020, and how he sought to navigate the organization through stormy waters form the heart of this study, flanked by analyses of the OSCE’s responses “on the ground” to the conflicts in Ukraine and Transnistria. It also looks toward the OSCE’s possible future development.
