European insights and (dis)agreements

Brexit, migration, debt-ridden countries - the European Union are currently facing major challenges this year. While some are placing their hopes in European unity, others do not see the promises of democracy, prosperity and security fulfilled.

Macron and Merkel’s European Policy: Is the Franco-German Motor Sputtering?" In the lecture series "Correspondent Talk. European Unity or National Egotism?
