Good article by @TonyBarber8 in the @FinancialTimes today on Merkel’s legacy and how her public perception is changing in light of far-right conspiracies and Putin’s war in Ukraine. Happy also to see a nod to my own article on #Zeitenwende in @IAJournal_CH ft.com/content/8d7357…
If you’re interested in changes in 🇩🇪 foreign policy, read this accessible piece on #Zeitenwende by my colleague @b_blumenau!
Happy to see my article, ‘Breaking with Convention? #Zeitenwende and the Traditional Pillars of German Foreign Policy’ published online @IAJournal_CH . It looks at how recent changes in German FP - Scholz' Zeitenwende - affect long-term FP traditions. doi.org/10.1093/ia/iia…
