Overview

For years, Americans have taken a shortcut in understanding the labyrinth of EU institutions and policies by focusing on understanding the interests of one member state: Germany. Today’s EU is as important to the success of US foreign policy as it is complex. In this Director’s Forum, Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger, Chairman of the Munich Security Conference and Former Deputy Foreign Minister of Germany will help decode the EU and explain how the US can best use the resources offered by the Transatlantic Partnership.

Global Europe Program

The Global Europe Program addresses vital issues affecting the European continent, US-European relations, and Europe’s ties with the rest of the world. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues: digital transformation, climate, migration, global governance. We also examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our program activities cover a wide range of topics, from the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE to European energy security, trade disputes, challenges to democracy, and counter-terrorism. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.  Read more
