SUMMARY:Virtual Event – "Peace through Strength or Peace through Dialogue?"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Conflicts on Europe’s doorstep and disruptive technologies are colliding with a faltering international order.

Against this backdrop\, what role can diplomacy play in securing peace\, prosperity\, and freedom? \nJoin the American Council on Germany for a virtual discussion with Ambassador Rolf Nikel\, who helped shape Germany’s foreign and security policy over 40 years as a diplomat and recently published Der schmale Grat: Die Kunst der Diplomatie in Zeiten des Umbruchs about the art of diplomacy in uncertain times.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2FWN_qNDjLLL-R0a0EeGcQMX5aw%3Fmc_cid%3D7cc6e3c1eb%26mc_eid%3D1bbbf55822%23%2Fregistration” css=”.vc_custom_1781193114824{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Ambassador Rolf Nikel has served as the Vice President of the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) since September 2020. Before joining DGAP\, he spent more than 40 years working for the German Foreign Office.
