About this Event
The Changing German Political Landscape
Elections in 2024 to the European Parliament and in three German provinces have cemented the success of the far-right Alternative for Germany and witnessed the rise of other non-mainstream parties. The German Academic Exchange Service’s (DAAD) alumni organizations in the US and Canada, in conjunction with the Waterloo Centre for German Studies, are pleased to sponsor a panel discussion that brings together leading scholars in the field for an in-depth examination of these recent elections that have changed Germany’s political landscape.
This event is one of a series of events marking the German Academic Exchange Service’s centenary in 2024-2025.
