"America has chosen - what now?"

November 20, 2024, room A 300

The election result in the USA was unexpectedly clear: Donald Trump will move into the White House for the second time in January. What consequences do we have to prepare for? Will Trump “heal” the country, as he announced the day after the election? Can he keep his promise that people will be better off economically under his presidency? What security policy consequences should Europe expect? How will his presidency affect the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine? We want to discuss these questions at the WZB.

Three renowned WZB researchers will analyze the election results through the lens of their disciplines: Nicola Fuchs-Schündeln, an economist, will look at trade, inflation and geo-economic implications. Michael Zürn, an expert in international relations, is researching supranational political institutions and their influence on global politics. And the US political scientist Daniel Ziblatt examines the institutions of democracy and the instruments available to societies to strengthen them.
