SUMMARY:In Conversation With: The Ambassador of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the United States
DESCRIPTION:Join the Honorary Consul of Liechtenstein to the South and Southeastern United States\, the Atlanta Council on International Relations and the Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta for “In Conversation With… The Ambassador of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the United States\, H.E. Kurt Jaeger” as he talks about The relationship of Liechtenstein with the EU as a model in a Post-Brexit World.\nOver the last six months the U.S.\, European and transatlantic community find themselves in the midst of processing the implications of what are perceived as major turning points. The so called “Brexit\,” where the British people voted to pull out of the European Union\, and the U.S. elections have called into question the status quo of the U.S.-European relationship and the future of the EU. As we consider what is in store for 2017\, including major elections in Europe\, such as France and Germany\, many are looking to see if a move towards nationalism will continue to prevail. As a non-EU member located in Central Europe\, the Principality of Liechtenstein has a unique relationship within Europe. It has a highly industrialized and prosperous economy while also maintaining active international relationships. How does Liechtenstein’s model of engagement with its European neighbors and the transatlantic and global communities offer insight into the changing landscape?

SUMMARY:Germany as an Immigration Country: Lunch & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:“Germany as an Immigration Country: Labor Migration and the Refugee Influx” \n\nImmigration and migration issues are currently at the top of the political agenda as all parties prepare their strategies for the upcoming federal elections in which Chancellor Merkel seeks her fourth term. More narrowly\, the consequences of the refugee influx are passionately debated – a topic on which public opinion in Germany is sharply divided. More broadly\, Germany aims to establish itself as a modern country of immigration competing for global talent. The presentation will introduce the current situation\, give data on immigration in Germany\, and identify challenges ahead.\nDr. Cornelia Schu is the Managing Director\, as well as the Director of the Research Unit\, of the Expert Council of German Foundations on Integration and Migration (SVR). Before assuming her position at SVR \, she was the Project Manager at Stiftung Mercator’s Center for Science and the Humanities. Dr. Schu has extensive expertise on German immigration and integration policy. Since 2015\, she has served as a member of the expert group on immigration advising the government. Dr. Schu is an excellent speaker who has briefed out ACG Study Tours. She will discuss efforts to integrate the refugees into the German labor market. She holds a doctoral degree in German Studies from the University of Bonn.\nThis program was made possible by a generous grant through the European Recovery Program – Transatlantic Encounters.

SUMMARY:International Business Case Competition
DESCRIPTION:The International Business Case Competition is an annual event in which students from several different universities\, especially minority serving institutions are placed in groups to solve a real-world business problem. The challenge provides students with the opportunity to meet students from other universities as well as gain insight on real-world business issues. As the program provides each student with beneficial skills and experience\, it also has strict criteria that need to be followed. The students are assigned to teams of four students\, but with the requirement that every student from the team is from a different university and majoring in a distinct field area. This will allow students to work through multiple cross-cultural obstacles\, including different study habits\, learning methods\, and even diverse university cultures. The fields represented during the Case Competition are Finance\, Accounting\, Marketing\, and Management & Operations. \nAt the start of the first day\, the students are given the time to participate in a variety of events that are meant to build up their trust and familiarity with each other. Later\, each team is given their case and has the rest of the day to come up with the solution. On day two\, the teams stand in front of a panel of judges and present their solution to the case. \nThe International Business Case Competition is funded by the U.S. Department of Education with a goal of mounting the competitiveness in the global market.

SUMMARY:From Brexit to Trump
DESCRIPTION:Nigel Farage led the campaign that won the June 2016 referendum on Great Britain’s membership in the European Union. A member of the European Parliament\, Farage told the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC)\, “We’ve got some very exciting elections coming up in the Netherlands\, in France\, in Germany.” His view is that with Brexit the people of the United Kingdom will regain control of their destiny. For Farage\, 2016 was the start of a global political revolution\, with a direct connection between Brexit and the election of Donald Trump. \nFarage enjoys being an incendiary political leader and his talk at the Commerce Club is likely to see fireworks. This must attend program will open a window into the thinking of the populist/nationalist movement that is ascendant in the United Kingdom and the United States. \nThe council is non-partisan\, and the speaker’s views do not necessarily reflect our own. We welcome the opportunity to be a platform where major global issues can be discussed in a calm atmosphere of mutual respect.
