SUMMARY:Searching for a New Political Middle:  Fragmentation and Polarization in Europe and the United States
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]With elections for the European parliament early next month and the U.S. Presidential election on the horizon\, campaigning in 2024 is heating up on both sides of the Atlantic. We are seeing increasing polarization and fragmentation of the political landscape – and even a calcification of positions. Yet\, on both sides of the Atlantic\, many candidates from the left and from the right are trying to appeal to voters in the political middle in the hope that they can pull votes from across party lines. \nJoin the American Council on Germany and the Goethe-Institut on May 9th for the third event of our series Foreign Correspondent Unplugged\, which delves into current political debates on both sides of the Atlantic. German journalists Annett Meiritz and Juliane Schäuble will talk about the upcoming elections in Europe and the United States – and how the elections are being perceived on the opposite side of the Atlantic. Both guests have been reporting from the U.S. for over five years – not just from inside the Washington bubble but from all over the country. In September 2022\, they published a book together: „Guns n’ Rosé: The Rise of Conservative Women in the U.S.” In it\, they explore the female conservative movement in the United States\, a highly relevant voting group that increasingly shapes politics and society. Dr. Steven E. Sokol\, the President and CEO of the American Council on Germany\, will moderate the discussion.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fforeign-correspondent-unplugged-tickets-893927821177″ css=”.vc_custom_1714680473130{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Annett Meiritz is the U.S. Correspondent for Germany’s leading business\, trade\, and finance daily Handelsblatt.
