SUMMARY:NYC: Democracy Under Pressure: Cleavages and Contestations
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The ACG\, in partnership with the Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences and the Germany Academy\, will host a discussion and reception on Democracy Under Pressure: Cleavages and Contestations.  \nProcesses of cultural\, social and economic diversification are omnipresent in a closely connected world. While often peaceful\, these processes also bring to the scene contestation and conflicts between groups over the distribution of economic resources and cultural influence: global realignments caused by migration\, supra-national decision-making\, and international economic interdependencies have added to citizens’ perceptions that their countries and societies are tightly coupled with other parts of the world and\, as a consequence\, are coming more and more “under stress”. People fear that their group or society might no longer be able to live as before or become one of the globalization losers. They perceive current global realignments as a threat to their individual identities\, mores\, economic prosperity\, and political self-determination.\nOn both sides of the Atlantic\, (too) rapid social change and growing social complexity may overwhelm indi-viduals who – nevertheless – attempt to deal with it via various mechanisms. One of the coping mechanisms can be seen in the formation and support of political and/or social movements that represent their interests. The America-First doctrine\, Brexit\, and the rise of right-wing (populist) parties in Europe might only be a harbinger of the new challenges which the Western democratic systems of representation\, conflict resolution and regulation will have to face in the years to come. Additionally\, new forms of mediatization and datafication are rising play-ers in the social and political arena\, armed with the power to transform the perception of social and political ‘truth/s’ – making it/them more contestable than ever and thus contributing to the complexity at hand.\nTo grasp the phenomenon at hand in its full complexity\, an interplay of social science and bordering discipli-nary perspectives (i.e. from law\, anthropology\, and media studies) are necessary. A transatlantic interdisciplinary research network (TIRN) and a joint doctoral program would provide the platform to explore these perspectives and to merge them in one comprehensive research program. The research aim of TIRN is then to investigate the (new) drivers\, fields and forms of social and political re-formation which characterize Europe and the US in the 21st century\, and to critically reflect the disciplines’ own role in past and present processes. The workshop on December 11-12\, 2018\, is dedicated to finding both the essentials for a common research program and also the academic and institutional partners to materialize our mission goal. \nRegistration for the event is required to attend. Seating is limited.\nPlease RSVP by December 7\, 2018 by writing an e-mail to contestations@bigsss-bremen.de. \n  \n  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Berlin\, NYC\, and Washington\, DC: The Current State of German Politics: A Transatlantic Town Hall with American Policy and Media Experts in Berlin
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The American Council on Germany and the Robert Bosch Foundation Alumni Association will host a discussion with Brent Goff\, Chief News Anchor\, Deutsche Welle;  Julianne Smith\, Richard von Weizsäcker Fellow\, Bosch Academy in Berlin & Adjunct Senior Fellow\, Center for a New American Security; Sudha David-Wilp\, Deputy Director Berlin Office and Senior Transatlantic Fellow\, The German Marshall Fund of the United States.  \nRefreshments will be served and there will be no charge to attend. RSVP here by January 22nd. \nSince his election\, many transatlantic panel discussions have focused on Donald Trump – and how his election has transformed politics in the United States as well as his impact on transatlantic relations. Meanwhile\, the German political system has also been undergoing its own transformation. As Chancellor Merkel’s tenure winds down\, the traditional Volksparteien – the CDU/CSU and the SPD – have lost traction and parties like the AfD and the Greens have gained support. In Europe\, the Brexit and rising populism give cause for concern. How Germany handles these transitions will have a significant impact on the stability of its democratic system\, its leadership role on a range of global issues\, its positions vis-à-vis the European Union\, and the country’s relationship with the United States. This event will examine the current issues confronting the German political system by drawing on the expertise of four experts\, all of whom are Robert Bosch Foundation Fellowship alumni living in Berlin. \nSumi Somaskanda\, Reporter and Anchor\, Deutsche Welle. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
