EUROPE WEEK: A project under threat?: The 2017 European elections and the future of the European Union
Open to the Public
As professed isolationist Donald Trump settles in to the White House and the United Kingdom prepares to trigger Article 50, the European Union has been cast as the 'last defender of the liberal world order.' However, as core EU states Germany and France prepare for federal elections in 2017, the influence of populist, Eurosceptic parties in these and other nations could impact the cohesion of the European Union as a whole.
German diplomat Boris Ruge and French scholar Muriel Rouyer will discuss transatlantic influences, domestic politics, and EU governance in this context on a panel moderated by FDP Faculty Director Nicholas Burns.
