Democracy in both Germany and the United States faces mounting challenges, from rising political polarization to declining trust in institutions and practices.
The latest installment in the Foreign Correspondent Uplugged series explored how these pressures are-reshaping politics and public life on both sides of the Atlantic. The timely discussion featured award-winning journalists Vladimir Balzer (Deutschlandradio) and Dr. Melanie Amann (Der Spiegel) who examined political trends in Germany and challenges to democracy 35 years after German unity.
The event was moderated by the President of the American Council on Germany, Dr. Steven E. Sokol.
