Breakfast with Dr. Céline-Agathe Caro
“European Unity Between Brexit and Populism: The Future of the European Project from a German Perspective”
The outcome of the British referendum has created increasing pressure on the EU to reform itself in order to better respond to the expectations of its citizens. At the same time, the European member states will only be able to overcome common challenges like the refugee crisis, terrorist threats, or Russia’s aggressive foreign policy if they act together. With its economic and political weight, Germany will play a key role in any further decisions regarding the EU’s future, but it needs partners to assume the leadership required to help navigate these crises.
