SUMMARY:How Identity Politics Has Shaped Modern Political Discourse
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Identity politics has long been thought to help members of disenfranchised communities create a voice for themselves. However\, in recent years\, identity politics has led to increased polarization between the left and the right\, creating a rise of populism in the United States and Europe. Now in 2020\, the call for social justice and racial equality have brought identity into the forefront of political debates on both sides of the Atlantic. \nAs part of the virtual 2020 German-American Conference\, the  American Council on Germany and Atlantik-Brücke invite you to join a virtual discussion with political scientist and Young Leader alumnus Dr. Francis Fukuyama (1985 Young Leader)\, Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI)\, Mosbacher Director of FSI’s Center on Democracy\, Development\, and the Rule of Law (CDDRL)\, and Director of Stanford’s Master’s in International Policy Program\, on September 10 at 11:00 am. In a conversation moderated by German journalist Christiane Hoffmann (1997 Young Leader)\, Dr. Fukuyama will discuss how identity politics have shaped modern political discourse. He will also share his thoughts on the political implications of the simultaneous public health\, economic\, and social equity challenges we are facing.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register here” css=”.vc_custom_1599162054667{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][/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]

SUMMARY:Knowing Each Other? Mutual Perceptions Across the Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nAs part of the Road to the Election and Beyond Virtual Series\, the ACG will host a webinar with Ambassador Dr. Emily Haber\, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to the United States; and Ambassador John B. Emerson\, Vice Chairman at Capital Group International\, Chairman of the American Council on Germany\, and former Ambassador of the United States to the Federal Republic of Germany; and moderated by Dr. David Deißner\, Executive Director of Atlantik-Brücke e.V. \nThe two Ambassadors\, both renowned experts in the realms of foreign policy and transatlantic relations\, will share with us their assessment of how Americans currently perceive their German partners across the Atlantic –and vice versa. What larger trends can we deduce from the current state of transatlantic relations? Are we\, in fact\, still “wunderbar together”? The moderated discussion will last about 35 minutes\, followed by 25 minutes of Q&A. \nThis is the second session of the transatlantic virtual event series Road to Election Night & Beyond #R2EN\, which is organized and hosted by several transatlantic institutions and political foundations.
