ANGELA MERKEL SE PREPARA PARA SU CUARTO MANDATO COMO CANCILLER FEDERAL: CONFORMACIÓN Y DESAFÍOS DE LA NUEVA GRAN COALICIÓN EN ALEMANIA 7 DE MARZO DE 2018 MONITOR ELECTORAL Fuente: Diario El País. ANÁLISIS E INVESTIGACIÓN El 4 de marzo, las bases socialdemócratas alemanas dieron el “Sí” a la coalición de Gobierno con los conservadores. Desde el 24 de septiembre de 2017, cuando tuvieron lugar las elecciones generales, hasta esta fecha, habrán transcurrido más de cinco meses para que la Canciller Angela Merkel pudiera formar gobierno. En el camino de las negociaciones, las dificultades y obstáculos fueron muchos y provinieron de las reticencias de los principales partidos que dominan el escenario político en Alemania. Un primer intento fallido fue el de la conformación de la así denominada Coalición Jamaica, que dio paso al tránsito hacia una fórmula que en buena medida repite la coalición de 2013 entre conservadores y socialdemócratas. El proceso no sólo ha dejado un desgaste relevante en el liderazgo e influencia de los líderes de los partidos y desde luego en la imagen de la propia Canciller Federal. También ha hecho lo propio con Martín Schulz, quien fracasó en su objetivo de asumir la cartera de Asuntos Exteriores. Pareciera, en este sentido, que la Gran Coalición es un mayor acierto para Europa, que para distintos actores en el ámbito nacional. El bloque comunitario ansiaba la conclusión de las negociaciones para poner en marcha el eje París-Berlín y así dar forma a un ambicioso proyecto para renovar la Unión. Pero, al interior del país existe el temor de que en el largo plazo la Gran Coalición fortalezca a la extrema derecha, por lo que conservadores y socialdemócratas tendrán que buscar la forma de que estas fuerzas no les arrebaten más simpatías.

2018 Charlevoix G7 Final Compliance Report 10 June 2018 — 25 July 2019
The G7 Research Group at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at Trinity College in the University of Toronto presents the 2018 Charlevoix G7 Final Compliance Report 10 June 2018 — 25 July 2019 Prepared by Angela Min Yi Hou, Julia Tops, and Cindy Xinying Ou 23 August 2019 www.g7.utoronto.ca [email protected] @g7_rg “We have meanwhile set up a process and there are also independent institutions monitoring which objectives of our G7 meetings we actually achieve. When it comes to these goals we have a compliance rate of about 80%, according to the University of Toronto. Germany, with its 87%, comes off pretty well. That means that next year too, under the Japanese G7 presidency, we are going to check where we stand in comparison to what we have discussed with each other now. So a lot of what we have resolved to do here together is something that we are going to have to work very hard at over the next few months. But I think that it has become apparent that we, as the G7, want to assume responsibility far beyond the prosperity in our own countries. That’s why today’s outreach meetings, that is the meetings with our guests, were also of great importance.” Chancellor Angela Merkel, Schloss Elmau, 8 June 2015 G7 summits are a moment for people to judge whether aspirational intent is met by concrete commitments. The G7 Research Group provides a report card on the implementation of G7 and G20 commitments. It is a good moment for the public to interact with leaders and say, you took a leadership position on these issues — a year later,

A Message from the President 2018 was a volatile year – and I am not just talking about the markets. For U.S. and European domestic politics, 2018 was marked by unexpected developments and a high degree of uncertainty. Some might even say it was a chaotic year. Together the ambiguity in domestic politics and a complex global ACG President Dr. Steven E. Sokol (lower right) with 2018 Young Leaders environment have had a profound impact on the transatlantic partnership. The volatility and uncertainty that characterized 2018 are likely to continue well into 2019 – and even beyond. There is no question: It was an intense year for German, European, understanding of how common challenges are addressed on and U.S. politics, for the overarching transatlantic relationship – the other side of the Atlantic. We also launched the DZ BANK and of course for the American Council on Germany.
