Presentation and Discussion |
| Topic: | Meeting Domestic Challenges: What "Old Europe" Could Learn from the United States |
| Speaker: | Gunther Hofmann
Chief Correspondent, DIE ZEIT |
| Description: | Gunter Hofmann is currently a Research Fellow at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard University. He is a political journalist who has covered German domestic affairs, party politics, trade unions, the shape of German democracy, and the process of European integration for the German weekly Die ZEIT since 1977.
Hofmann recently published a book Abschiede-Anfänge. Die Bundesrepublik. Eine Anatomie, München 2002, which reviews the mental history of Germany (primarily west) until 1989 to now, the red-green coalition and its intellectual foundations. He is also author of several books on Willy Brandt, an interview-book with Richard von Weizsäcker and a book about the debate Weizsäcker provoked, Die Kontroverse. Currently, he is writing a book on the issues to be addressed following the solution of the "German question" – namely the European versus the German way and what "The West" still means
