In this sense, the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) was a cornerstone of the post-war order, whose architecture has now crumbled. This panel addresses tipping points in the history of the FRG and its democratic culture. Where does the "big canton" fit into the new world order? What can be done about the chasms that are opening up between self-perception and external perception in the world? With Tsafrir Cohen, Eva Menasse, Adam Tooze, Daniel Marwecki, Sima Luipert, Jakob Tanner Link to day 2: https://youtube.com/live/2CMGmlyJMAg?feature=share
