Claire GreensteinClaire Greenstein, a postdoctoral fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, recently co-authored an article in Slate entitled "Is Germany’s Future Brown or Green?"
Here's an excerpt:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced on Monday that she’s stepping down as the party chief of the Christian Democratic Union, or CDU, and that she won’t seek re-election to Germany’s highest political office in 2021. “The time has come to open a new chapter,” she explained, leaving pundits scrambling to figure out who might succeed Europe’s most powerful leader.
For the first time in at least a decade, no one can accuse German politics of being boring.
