Germany’s role in Europe in the year of the federal election
For the first time, Der Tagesspiegel, DIE ZEIT, Handelsblatt and WirtschaftsWoche invite you to a joint start of the year »Europe 2021« to discuss the issues we urgently need to tackle in Europe in the undoubtedly challenging year 2021 – from strengthening democracies, European digital sovereignty, a common European internal market, to climate protection goals in the year of COP 26, the upcoming UN climate conference in Glasgow. While Europe still has to stomach Brexit, a revival of good transatlantic relationships under US President Joe Biden is within reach. Meanwhile China extend ist role on the world stage.
