On this episode of the Zeitgeist, guest host Dr. Eric Langenbacher, Senior Fellow and Director of the Society, Culture & Politics Program, continues our AGI at Forty podcast series with Geoeconomics Non-Resident Senior Fellow and former Program Director Alexander Privitera. When Mr. Privitera joined AGI, Germany was leading Europe through a sovereign debt crisis. What can be learned from this period about how Germany manages crises now and in the future? How has the bilateral relationship evolved since 2008, and with it the understanding of how economics and trade policy intersect with foreign and security policy?
