Polis Teatime

The (Re)-Emergence of a Global Power Competition

with

Torrey Taussig, Robert Bosch Foundation Fellow & Nonresident Fellow at Brookings

We are happy to invite you to our next Polis Teatime. Come and join our discussion on the (re)-emergence of great power competition in U.S. foreign policy and its impact on Europe and transatlantic relations with Torrey Taussig, Robert Bosch Foundation Fellow of 2018/2019.

Dr. Taussig will briefly outline the origins of great power competition with Russia and China and discuss how democratic states can reinvigorate their political systems to defend against authoritarian influence.

As a grassroots think tank Polis180 wants to enable the young generation to participate in political discourse. Thus, our teatimes will focus on your questions! Please feel free to enjoy tea, coffee, biscuits and hopefully some food for thought.

We are looking forward to your contributions and presence!
