On September 30, the ACG will join Advancing American Freedom and the Robert Bosch Fellowship Alumni Association in hosting “The Future of the Right: Conservatism at a Crossroads on Both Sides of the Atlantic.” The program will bring together policymakers, journalists, scholars, and emerging leaders to explore the debates shaping center-right and conservative movements.
Discussions will examine a range of issues, including free markets and economic nationalism, populism and institutional reform, support for Ukraine, and the future of Western security. The program will conclude with interactive working-group conversations on the future direction of the political right as the United States moves toward a post-Trump era and Europe’s center-right parties navigate their own period of transition.
Featured speakers include Penny Naas (German Marshall Fund), Peter Rough (Hudson Institute), Thomas J. Duesterberg (Hudson Institute), Andrew Hale (Advancing American Freedom), ACG alum Marc Wheat (Advancing American Freedom), and Carrie Filipetti (Vandenberg Coalition), with additional participants to be announced.
