The people of Germany have spoken, but their answer was muddled. Gerhard Schroeder and Angela Merkel both claim to have won the elections. Germany finds itself in the worst deadlock in its postwar history. How will this deadlock in Europe's biggest economy be overcome? What are the implications for the future of Germany’s reform agenda? What are the implications for the direction of Europe? Please join the New Atlantic Initiative for a panel discussion with Dieter Dettke, executive director of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation’s Washington office; Helga Flores-Trejo, executive director of the Heinrich Boell Foundation’s Washington office; Ulf Gartzke, director of the Hans-Seidel-Foundation; and Claus Gramckow, acting director of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation. Radek Sikorski, executive director of the New Atlantic Initiative, will moderate.
