October 3, 2020 marks the 30th anniversary of German unification. The period between the fall of the Wall in November 1989 and the adoption of the Unification Treaty on October 3, 1990, stands for German political ingenuity in reclaiming a unified nation. At the same time, we need to acknowledge that Willy Brandt\u2019s dictum \u201cNow what belongs together will grow together\u201d has been only partially realized.<\/p>\n

While formal unification took barely a year, it turns out that unity takes generations. Continuing differences in living standards, pensions, political orientations, and democratic values indicate that the process of unifying former East and West Germany is a multi-generational project. In what ways do perceived political, socio-economic, and cultural differences impact how Germans of the old and new L\u00e4nder see and participate in their country? Have Germans dealt adequately with their separate pasts in order to craft a joint 21st century political identity? While there is much to celebrate, what is at stake during the next decade of \u2018unifying work\u2019? We will discuss these and other questions with three distinguished experts on German politics, society, and culture.<\/p>\n

This virtual event will be moderated by Niko Switek<\/strong>, DAAD Visiting Assistant Professor for German Studies at the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies and the Department of Political Science at the University of Washington.<\/p>\n
