MunichsideOut: The Munich Security Conference and Germany’s Foreign Policy Agenda (Part 1)

Fellow and Head of the Action Group Zeitenwende at the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP), and Aaron Gasch Burnett, a journalist specialising in German politics, we look at how Germany sees the world and the world sees Germany.

In this special episode of BerlinsideOut, Ben and Aaron head to the Munich Security Conference and talk about how Germany uses the world’s most well-known international security gathering to influence global foreign policy agendas. Ben, Aaron, and guests also chat about the themes influencing the hundreds of meetings happening in Munich – from the need for Europeans to have a backup to the US security guarantee to who is all in on Ukrainian victory over Russia, who isn’t - and how that goal is being pursued in the Bavarian capital’s conference rooms and beer halls.
