SUMMARY:Germany Event: “Reinventing Transatlantic Ties? The Future of German-American Relations”
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The American Council on Germany\, in cooperation with 1014 Deutschland e.V. and various American Centers in Germany\, will host a speaking tour for former U.S. diplomat Robin Quinville. In five cities\, she will engage with local audiences and experts to explore the current state and future of German-American relations amid shifting global dynamics. These events will highlight both the challenges and opportunities facing the transatlantic community today. Each stop will feature a unique discussion – tailored to each community – addressing key themes such as geopolitical change\, democratic resilience\, and the evolving role of transatlantic cooperation in a complex global order. \n______________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nJoin us in Stuttgart on April 22 for a discussion with Robin Quinville (Director of the Wilson Center’s Global Europe Program) and Martin Kilgus (United Nations Association of Germany–Baden-Württemberg)\, as they explore the challenges and opportunities facing one of the world’s most important bilateral partnerships. \nFor decades\, the strong partnership between the United States and Europe has been built on shared values and mutual trust. Yet\, in a time marked by geopolitical tensions\, ongoing conflicts\, and growing debates about the future of international cooperation and multilateralism\, the transatlantic relationship faces both renewed expectations as well as new uncertainties. How are political developments in Washington\, Brussels\, and Berlin reshaping the alliance? What role will security and trade play in defining the next chapter of transatlantic ties? And how can we navigate disagreements while strengthening our shared interests? What is the role of civil society actors on both sides of the Atlantic and private friendships in fostering a stable relationship? \nClick HERE for More Information!\nTo register\, please email anmeldung@daz.org \nRobin Quinville is the former Director of the Wilson Center’s Global Europe Program.
