The Center on the U.S. and Europe at Brookings (CUSE) and the Heinrich Böll Stiftung North America, in cooperation with the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies (AICGS), are delighted to invite you to an expert roundtable on the role of the German Federal Elections on Foreign and Economic Issues.
Germans will go to the polls on September 22 to elect a new parliament. The makeup of this 18th Bundestag could have far-reaching consequences for Germany and its leadership role in the European Union and beyond. The panelists will discuss how developments such as revelations that Germany cooperated with U.S. surveillance programs may affect voters. The panel will also speak to how future coalition governments will approach U.S.-German relations, Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations, the conflict in Syria, the euro crisis and other geopolitical challenges.
The panel will feature a prominent group of American and German officials and experts from across the political spectrum, including Ruprecht Polenz, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee at the Bundestag; Hans-Ulrich Klose, deputy chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee; Martin Klingst of the weekly newspaper Die Zeit; Gerhard Hirscher, director of the Hanns Seidel Foundation; and Jackson Janes, president of AICGS. Fiona Hill, director of CUSE, will provide introductory comments and moderate the discussion.
After the discussion, the panelists will take audience questions.
This discussion is part of the CUSE-Heinrich Boell Foundation “Future of Europe” event series. Speakers for this event were provided with the generous support of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, Konrad-Adenauer Foundation, and the Hanns-Seidel Foundation.
