Chair

Professor Eric Neumayer

Join us for a lecture by Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, Germany's minister of defence and leader of Germany's governing party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU).

What is the future of the German-British relationship after Brexit? How do we address the pressing challenges of international security, environmental protection, and sustainable prosperity in the digital economy -- while preserving our common heritage as Europeans?

The event will be in German with English translation.

Born in 1962, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer (often known simply by her initials "AKK") started her political career in 1981, subsequently holding numerous positions in her native Saarland and serving as its first female Minister President from 2011 to 2018. She became CDU Secretary General in 2018 before assuming her current positions as party chair later that year and as Germany's defence minister in July of 2019. Ms. Kramp-Karrenbauer studied at the universities of Trier and Saarbrücken and graduated with an M.A. in political science and public law.

Eric Neumayer is LSE's Pro-Director (PVC) Faculty Development and Professor of Environment and Development in the Department of Geography and the Environment.

The event is co-hosted by the European Institute and the Dahrendorf Forum, a project of LSE IDEAS, in conjunction with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
