Germany, Angela Merkel, and the Impending Elections

Germany is preparing for an important election in September which will not only decide the Chancellor's fate, but also that of the entire European Union. Will Angela Merkel and her Christian Democratic party be able to stay at the helm of Europe's most populous nation and its economic powerhouse? Or will her adversaries, the Social Democratic party, perhaps in a coalition with the environment friendly Green party, secure a win? What would be the ramifications of such a victory? Join German historian and political scientist Anette Isaacs for a fascinating discussion of these pressing and critical issues. Registration is $10 member; $12 non-member.
