'Was denkt Deutschland?' launch

On Tuesday 28^th June ECFR and Stiftung Mercator launched ‘Was denkt Deutschland?’ (and the English translation ‘What does Germany think about Europe?’). Edited by Ulrike Guérot and Jacqueline Hénard, this collection of essays by German experts on politics, law, sociology, philosophy and the media explores issues such as the euro crisis debate, Europe’s political future and the role of Germany’s constitutional court.

The book release was accompanied by a thought provoking and lively panel discussion. We were glad to welcome Cem Özdemir, federal chairman of the German Green Party, Thomas Silberhorn, CSU MP active on EU affairs, publisher Jacob Augstein (Der Freitag), historian and publicist Prof. Dr. Michael Stürmer as well as the Polish ambassador Dr. Marek Prawda to the panel. The event was a great success and we were very happy to welcome our guests at the French Embassy, especially as our guests very much appreciated the great atmosphere in the magnificent courtyard.
