Three Reichs and You are Out: Germany in the 21st Century
(3rd Floor)
Speakers): Josef Joffe
About this talk:
Germany has always been too strong or too weak for Europe. Now
it is Number One again, but what a difference 70 years of
democratic development and European integration have made.
Merkel's German is no "Fourth Reich," and
the political class knows it. If she isn't
"triangulating" like Bill Clinton, Merkel
"leads from behind" like Obama. After two
murderous grabs for hegemony, Germany is an accidental great power
- so strong because France, Britain, Italy and the rest are so
weak.
**Please by May 23rd at 5pm. Light lunch will be served. Event is open to the public**
