SUMMARY:German Foreign Policy Priorities in an Election Year – and Beyond

Germany and the United States have to tackle simultaneous public health\, economic\, and social justice crises at home but in all corners of the globe foreign policy challenges are simmering. 2021 has already seen a host of issues – from a confrontational U.S.-China relationship to an increasingly aggressive Russia (in Ukraine and Syria not to mention interfering in western elections); from nuclear tensions with Iran and North Korea to instability in the Middle East and in Latin America; from migration and humanitarian crises to issues like counter-terrorism\, cyber-security\, and climate. \nAs Germany heads toward federal elections in September 2021\, what role will foreign policy play? \nJoin the American Council on Germany\, Deutsches Haus at NYU\, and NYU’s Center for European and Mediterranean Studies for a discussion with Bundestag members Metin Hakverdi (SPD)\, Gyde Jensen (FDP)\, and Omid Nouripour (The Greens) regarding Germany’s foreign policy priorities in an election year.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F7616197209422%2FWN_IhWIn2uQR2O0vCR1wtiSlw” css=”.vc_custom_1619720978176{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Metin Hakverdi joined the SPD in 2002 and has been a member of the German Bundestag since 2013.
