About the talk
Germany plays a central role in shaping Europe's economy, security, and political direction, yet it is facing some of the most profound challenges in its post-war history.
We are very happy to welcome back to CBS Library Forum Philipp Alexander Ostrowicz, senior research advisor at Copenhagen Business School, who will discuss the challenges facing Germany today, drawing on his new book Verden venter ikke på os: Tyskland i opbrud [The World Won't Wait for Us: Germany´s Upheaval], co-authored with journalist and Germany-correspondent for the Danish Broadcasting Corporation DR Steen Nørskov.
Philipp Alexander Ostrowicz will explore how Germany is responding to economic stagnation, geopolitical tensions, the energy transition, and shifting global power dynamics, while examining the country's evolving role within Europe and the wider international community.
Drawing on the authors' analyses and firsthand observations, Philipp Alexander Ostrowicz will offer a nuanced perspective on a society in transition and discuss what Germany's changing position means for the future of Europe.
