Legacy of '89

GMF’s Legacy of ’89 series marks 25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the subsequent unification of Germany, and political transformations across Europe. Examining the cultural, political, social, and economic aspects of these watershed moments of the 20th century, The Legacy of ’89 brings together intellectuals, former and current government officials, and members of the media for reflection, stocktaking, and innovative policy prescriptive conversations amongst the transatlantic and pan-European communities.
