Germany, Angela Merkel, and the Impending Elections

At NSSC, Nielsen Campus: 

Anette Isaacs, M.A., Historian

Germany is preparing for an important election in September
which will not only decide the Chancellor's fate, but also that of the entire
European Union. Will Angela Merkel and her Christian Democratic party be able
to stay at the helm of Europe's most populous nation and its economic
powerhouse? Or will her adversaries, the Social Democratic party, perhaps in a
coalition with the environment friendly Green party, secure a win? What would
be the ramifications of such a victory? Would a new Chancellor be as interested
in and dedicated to solving the Euro crisis? What would Germany's domestic and
foreign policies look like under a more liberal and social democratic
leadership? Join German historian and political scientist Anette Isaacs for a
fascinating discussion of these pressing and critical issues.
