SUMMARY:Global Challenges 60 Years after the Élysée Treaty
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Following centuries of rivalry and conflict\, France and Germany sent a strong signal of post-war reconciliation and laid the foundation for close cooperation to support European integration when President Charles de Gaulle and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer signed the Élysée Treaty on January 22\, 1963. Six decades later\, the six-member European Economic Community has grown to a European Union with 27 member states\, East and West Germany have unified\, the United Kingdom has joined (1973) and left (2020) the European club\, the Soviet Union has dissolved\, and Russia has invaded Ukraine. In this transformed world\, the Franco-German alliance remains important\, but it faces new challenges. \nThis weekend\, President Emmanuel Macron and Chancellor Olaf Scholz will meet before the pair lead a joint cabinet meeting to mark the anniversary of the Elysée Treaty. How can the Franco-German alliance navigate the changing global order – and what lessons can be drawn 60 years after signing the treaty?
