Literature LIVE at the TIPI AT THE CHANCELLERY - Jörg Lau and Anne Will in conversation "We are now the West"

The USA provides security, China export revenue, and Russia our energy—for many years, this was the unspoken assumption of all German foreign policy. This equation no longer holds true in the age of uncertainty: Germany mustfinally live up to its responsibility in the concert of international powers and confidently represent Western values in the new world order.


In this political non-fiction book, Jörg Lau, foreign policy expert for ZEIT, shows what a new, bolder, and more realistic foreign policy must look like—one that protects our freedom, guarantees prosperity, and secures peace. To this end, he personally accompanies the key figures in world politics on their travels, appointments, and summits. He provides insights into how decisions are made and analyzes the guiding principles of German foreign policy.


His book is the long-overdue blueprint for a different foreign policy for a fractured 21st century.
