Financial Times' Future of Europe Project
Europe desperately needs a reboot, but its leaders must do something populists have already mastered: engage and win-over ordinary citizens. Trump, Brexit, the euro-area crisis – the threats to Europe’s future show no signs of abating, yet there is little sign of urgency among leaders whose ideas and action are now required. After France’s resolute signal that it stands behind the European project, all eyes are on Germany’s next government. But which path forward: greater integration, the devolution of powers to member states, a revival of the Franco-German leadership?
Join us on December 6 for the Berlin instalment of the Financial Times’ Future of Europe Project, where we will debate the path for success. At the heart of the project is an op-ed contest, in which winning essays on tomorrow's Europe from six prestigious universities were selected for publication in the FT. The Hertie School’s winning essay by Master of International Affairs student Julian Lang outlines what Europe can learn from populists like Donald Trump, and will be presented at the event.
