Who and what is Germany in 2018? Among the things the country is known for are its consensus-based politics, its conservative social values, its egalitarian social-market economy, its collaborative and incrementalist firms and, on the international stage, its economic assertiveness combined with military reticence. Now, as Angela Merkel's (probably) final term as chancellor gets going after an...

Das wird seit langem in den Debatten der G20 deutlich, in denen es oft Einschätzungsunterschiede über die angemessene Politik zwischen einer amerikanisch (pragmatischen) und einer (auf Prinzipien insistierenden) deutschen Position gibt. In...

At the same time, Eurobarometer opinion surveys reveal that immigration tops the list of challenges that EU citizens are most concerned about and therefore effective policies toward...
