Adjusting to New Challenges without Abandoning the Underlying Foundation

The German-American relationship has a long history and a very rich tradition. Oftentimes unknown and maybe also sometimes willingly unknown, immigrants of German descent compose the largest European immigrant group in the United States. However, in recent times this relationship which can also be included in the transatlantic partnership has shown some fissures which need […]

Introduction: A New Narrative for the Transatlantic Relationship

While many older Americans and Germans retain fond memories of the Marshall Plan, which helped turn the former foes into allies and partners, the value of transatlantic relations is no longer as obvious to younger generations in both countries.  Given the value of the partnership to address transnational challenges and maintain the rule-based international order […]

A Case of Transatlantic Complacency

There are many things that could be said about the current state of transatlantic relations. While there are certainly many hot topics warranting dissection and analysis, I feel that the status quo at the moment can be summed up in one word: complacency. We have become somewhat smug when it comes to our transatlantic relationship. […]

Boldness and More Agility in their Leadership to Create Unity

About

Atlantic Expedition is a fellowship program aiming to empower a younger and more diverse generation of leaders in transatlantic relations.

The Atlantic Expedition is currently in its second round. After fellows of the first Expedition developed policy recommendations and created the Atlantic Memo “Transatlantic Relations in a New Era: The Next Generation Approach”, participants of the second Expedition joined forces to develop new strategies for communicating transatlantic relations to a diverse audience and consequently making the transatlantic relationship a more inclusive endeavor.

From 9-14 October, fellows of the second Atlantic Expedition traveled to Chicago and Houston to present and discuss their ideas and proposals with representatives from politics, media, business and civil society. They published their recommendations in a second Atlantic Memo titeled “Atlantic Expedition II: Towards a More Inclusive Transatlantic Partnership” .

To stay up-to date, virtually join the expedition and to add your voice to the discussion, please find us on facebook and twitter.
