SUMMARY:The United States and an Evolving Europe: Transatlantic Ties 2021-2022
DESCRIPTION:With federal elections in Germany in September 2021 and presidential elections in France in May 2022\, the European political landscape is evolving just as the Biden Administration is seeking to rebuild and revitalize the transatlantic relationship.

SUMMARY:Germany after Angela Merkel: Her Legacy and the Leadership Transition
DESCRIPTION:On September 26\, Germans will vote in federal elections that will determine the composition of the lower house of the federal parliament\, the Bundestag. The new majority in the Bundestag – most likely a coalition of three parties – will elect the next German Chancellor\, marking the end of 16 years of leadership by Chancellor Angela Merkel. Join us virtually for a conversation about Chancellor Merkel’s legacy\, the outlook for the elections and the likely implications for Germany of this historical leadership transition with Stefan Kornelius\, Foreign Editor at the Süddeutsche Zeitung and author of a biography of Angela Merkel.

In his reporting career\, he has covered Germany’s Christian Democratic Party (CDU)\, the chancellorship of Helmut Kohl\, and defense issues in Europe. From 1996 to 1999\, he served as the paper’s Washington correspondent.
