SUMMARY:Hilton Head Island: US and German Relations Post 1989
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The ACG\, the World Affairs Council of Hilton Head Island\, South Carolina\, and the World Affairs Councils of America will host a discussion with Ambassador Peter Ammon\, former German Ambassador to France\, the USA\, and the UK.  \n30 years have passed since the heady days of German re-unification. The generation whose world-view was shaped by comradeship in arms between Germany and America in the Cold War is slowly fading away. With the UK leaving the European Union\, and populist parties triumphant in the East and the South of the bloc\, this historic project\, once masterminded and critically supported by the US\, is at a dangerous juncture. Further to the East\, an opportunistic Russia is filling the space where the West withdraws\, and an increasingly authoritarian China is pursuing its long-term plan of taking the pole position in the world. \nToday\, both the German and the US society are internally divided by new fault lines\, some cultural\, some economic\, some political in nature. The vision of a transatlantic free trade and investment partnership is dead. In the foreign policy debates\, short-term gain trumps long-term strategic thinking\, thus producing dangerous narratives of neglected self-interest on both sides. The US-German relationship is in crisis and needs fresh thinking. \n \nBiography\nAmbassador Peter Ammon served as German Ambassador to the United Kingdom (2014-2018) and to the United States (2011–2014) and as State Secretary (US equivalent: Deputy Foreign Secretary) at the German Foreign Office in Berlin (2008–2011). In 2007 and 2008\, Ammon was appointed German Ambassador to Paris\, France. \nHis prior diplomatic career included postings to London (1980-82)\, Dakar/Senegal\, New Delhi\, and Washington\, D.C. (1999-2001). From 1996 to 1999\, he was Head of Policy Planning and speech writer to the then President of Germany\, Roman Herzog. A staunch advocate of free trade\, Ammon worked as Director General for Economics at the German Foreign Office from 2001 to 2007\, helping German “Mittelstand” companies build a global presence. Also from 2001 to 2007\, he was tasked to prepare the G7/8 world economic summits for German chancellors Gerhard Schröder and Angela Merkel. While in London\, Ammon’s agenda was shaped by the British Brexit referendum to leave the EU. \nPeter Ammon is married to Marliese Heimann-Ammon. They have two grown daughters\, Ariane and Christina. His personal interests include music\, science and hiking. He studied mathematics and holds a doctorate in economics from Berlin’s Free University. \nHonors: Freeman of the City of London; Honorary Ph.D.\, University of Huntsville/Alabama; Cross Federal Order of Merit (Germany); Officier de la Légion d’honneur (France); Grand Cross Order of Merit (Portugal); Commander Ordre Bernado O’Higgins (Chile).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Indianapolis Warburg Chapter\, the Indiana Council on World Affairs\, and the Foundation for Lutheran Child and Family Services will host a discussion and reception with Tobias David\, Chief of Staff to the Lord Mayor of Leipzig on “Remembering the Fall of the Berlin Wall: From German Unity to a New Beginning.” \nTobias David\, born in 1973\, grew up in Leipzig (in the former GDR/East Germany) and spent most of his school years under the conditions of the GDR dictatorship. Even as a teenager he was involved in opposition groups under the protection of the Catholic Church and became politically active early on. The Peaceful Revolution of 1989\, driven by the peace and civil rights movement\, had a lasting impact on his life. \nAfter studying political science and communications\, he worked for many years as Managing Director of a communications agency. In 2004 he moved to the Saxon State Parliament as Advisor to the Vice-President. Since 2008\, he has been the closest strategic advisor to the Mayor of the City of Leipzig. Mr. David was a participant in the ACG’s McCloy Leadership Mission on Urban Affairs and Sustainability in 2016. The Peaceful Revolution of 1989 — which ultimately led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany — began in Leipzig. Today Leipzig is not only one of the largest cities in Germany but also the fastest-growing German city. \nThis event is being held under the auspices of Deutschlandjahr USA 2018/2019 – the Year of German-American Friendship\, a comprehensive and collaborative initiative funded by the German Federal Foreign Office\, implemented by the Goethe-Institut\, and with support from the Federation of German Industries (BDI). For more information on the initiative and the more than 1\,000 projects that will take place between October 2018 and November 2019\, visit www.wunderbartogether.org. \nThis event is held in partnership with The International Center\, the Max Kade German-American Center\, and the World Affairs Councils of America.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Munich: Der veränderte Nachrichtenkonsum als Herausforderung für  den Journalismus und die Demokratie
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The ACG and the Freunde des ACG will host a discussion and reception with Peter Kropsch\, CEO of Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA)\, in conversation with Dr. Steven E. Sokol.  \nDie Teilnahme ist kostenlos\, erfordert aber eine Anmeldung. Einen Link zur Anmeldung finden Sie unter https://acgde.org/events/. Sollten Sie trotz Ihrer Anmeldung verhindert sein\, bitten wir um kurzfristige Information an events@acgde.org \nDer Digital News Report 2019 des Reuters Institute zeigt\, dass sich der Nachrichtenkonsum der Menschen weltweit verändert. Die Bereitschaft für Qualitätsjournalismus zu bezahlen\, ist nachhaltig niedrig. Mehr und mehr Nachrichten werden auf Social Media Plattformen konsumiert. Doch der nächste Paradigmenwechsel ist bereits am Horizont: In vielen Ländern sind geschlossene Onlinegruppen und Messenger Apps wie WhatsApp zwischenzeitlich der Hauptkanal\, auf dem Nachrichten geteilt und diskutiert werden. Gleichzeitig vertrauen Menschen in vielen Ländern den Medien nicht mehr. \nDeuten diese Trends auf beiden Seiten des Atlantiks darauf hin\, dass Menschen nicht mehr die Wahrheit\, sondern ihre ganz eigenen Wahrheiten lesen wollen? Ist es den Menschen heute nicht mehr zuzumuten\, sich außerhalb der eigenen „Echokammern“ mit fremden Meinungen auseinanderzusetzen? Ist der immer schneller werdende News Cycle verantwortlich für das Gefühl\, die Welt gerate aus den Fugen weil negative Ereignisse meist zu einem Zeitpunkt geschehen während positive Entwicklungen sich über einen Zeitraum erstrecken? Diese und andere Fragen stehen im Zentrum der Diskussion zwischen Peter Kropsch und Dr. Steven E. Sokol. \nPeter Kropsch ist Geschäftsführer der Deutschen Presse-Agentur dpa\, wo er im Januar 2017 den Vorsitz der Geschäftsführung übernahm. Davor war er CEO der österreichischen Nachrichtenagentur APA – Austria Presse Agentur. Peter Kropsch hat an der Universität Wien Publizistik und Kommunikationswissenschaften sowie Psychologie\, Soziologie und Geschichte studiert. Er ist Präsident der Europäischen Allianz der Nachrichtenagenturen (EANA). \nDr. Steven E. Sokol ist seit Mai 2015 Präsident des American Council on Germany (ACG). Er war von Juli 2010 bis April 2015 Präsident und CEO des World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh. Davor war er Vizepräsident und Programmdirektor beim ACG. Er verfügt über mehr als 20 Jahre Erfahrung in der Arbeit mit gemeinnützigen Organisationen in Europa und den Vereinigten Staaten. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The ACG and the American Institute for Contemporary Germany Studies will host an official side event at the 2020 Munich Security Conference.  \nChina’s growing international presence has far-ranging effects on both the United States and Germany in areas such as economics and trade\, technology policy\, human rights\, the regional power balance\, and international security. German and American wariness about these issues is growing and common concerns could serve as a foundation for greater transatlantic cooperation vis-à-vis China\, but policies on these issues often have diverged. At a time when the United States considers further trade measures against Europe following the first phase of an agreement between Washington and Beijing\, our discussion will seek to identify shared American and German interests and assess the appropriate level of ambition and priorities for a transatlantic approach to Chinese influence. \nSpeakers include: \nRobert Blair\, Special Representative for Telecommunications Policy in the White House \nCongresswoman Susan Brooks (R-IN) \nReinhard Bütikofer\, Deputy Member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs\, European Parliament\, Brussels \nElizabeth Economy\, C.V. Starr Senior Fellow and Director for Asia Studies\, Council on Foreign Relations\, New York \nSenator Christopher Murphy (D-CT) \nSenator Rob Portman (R-OH) \nDr. Norbert Röttgen\, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs\, CDU/CSU Parliamentary Group\, German Bundestag\, Berlin \nSenator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) \nSenator Roger Wicker (R-MS)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:USA vs. TikTok – wo steht Europa?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Die App “TikTok” des chinesischen Unternehmens Bytedance gehört zu den Onlinediensten mit der schnellsten Verbreitung. Sie ist die erste chinesische App\, die weltweit erfolgreich ist. Inzwischen nutzen rund 800 Millionen Menschen TikTok. Mit der TikTok-App können Nutzer kurze Videoclips aufnehmen\, bearbeiten und mit anderen Nutzern teilen. \nTikTok ist eine Social Media Anwendung\, die in erster Linie zur Unterhaltung dient und vor allem bei Teenagern beliebt ist. Gleichwohl hat der amerikanische Präsident TikTok zum Risiko für die nationale Sicherheit der USA erklärt. Die amerikanische Regierung wirft Bytedance\, der chinesischen Muttergesellschaft von TikTok vor\, Nutzerdaten an die chinesischen Behörden weiterzugeben. Bytedance weist die Vorwürfe zurück. TikTok soll in den USA verboten werden\, wenn das Unternehmen nicht verkauft wird. Als mögliche Käufer werden unter anderem Microsoft\, Oracle und Walmart gehandelt. Ein Verbot von TikTok in den USA hätte aufgrund der globalen Dominanz der Betriebssysteme von Apple und Google wahrscheinlich weltweite Auswirkungen. \nDas Gespräch findet auf Englisch statt. Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos\, erfordert aber eine Anmeldung. \nJohn Lee befasst sich mit dem Aufstieg Chinas digitaler Technologien und ihren internationalen Auswirkungen. Dabei verbindet er Aspekte der Volkswirtschaftslehre\, der Internationalen Beziehungen und der Sicherheitsstudien. Lee studierte War Studies am King’s College London (MA) und Internationales Recht an der Australian National University (LLM). Vor seinem Wechsel zu MERICS arbeitete er für das australische Ministerium für Internationale Beziehungen und Außenhandel\, für das australische Verteidigungsministerium sowie für das Australian Strategic Policy Institute.\nVon Mai bis Juli 2016 war John Lee Visiting Academic Fellow am MERICS. \nChristoph Keese ist geschäftsführender Gesellschafter der Axel Springer hy GmbH und begleitet namhafte Unternehmen\, Regierungsinstitutionen und Städte bei Fragen der digitalen Transformation und technologischen Innovation. Der Journalist\, Wirtschaftswissenschaftler\, Verlagsmanager und Bestsellerautor arbeitet seit Anfang der 1990er Jahre an der Digitalisierung von Geschäftsmodellen. Er gehört zu den Mitgründern der Financial Times Deutschland\, leitete als Chefredakteur die WELT am Sonntag und WELT Online und trieb\, zuletzt als Executive Vice President\, die Digitalisierung bei Axel Springer voran.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F6416001917976%2FWN_uwDU5b2ESdC1I29WRxAxyg” css=”.vc_custom_1600191836882{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
