Wessel questioned the panelists on the contention that economic stagnation fostered populist backlash.
On April 10, 2017, the Center on the United States and Europe (CUSE) and the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy at Brookings, in collaboration with the Robert Bosch Stiftung, hosted a discussion exploring the broad set of political, social, and economic phenomena driving the rise of populism in the United States and Europe, and possible responses to them. The event also launched the “Brookings – Robert Bosch Foundation Transatlantic Initiative,” a new collaboration that will produce nonpartisan research and analysis and sustain dialogue to reinvigorate transatlantic collaboration on global issues.
The event featured a conversation with French Ambassador to the U.S. Gérard Araud, Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute, and Brookings Robert Bosch Senior Fellow Constanze Stelzenmüller. David Wessel, director of the Hutchins Center, moderated the discussion. Brookings President Strobe Talbott and Robert Bosch Stiftung Chief Executive Officer Uta-Micaela Dürig offered introductory remarks.
