DESCRIPTION:Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has triggered what G
 erman leaders call a Zeitenwende\, a historic turning point in European se
 curity and politics. Yet beyond rhetoric\, what does this transformation m
 ean for Europe’s long-term survival as a geopolitical actor? In this tal
 k\, Johannes Volkmann\, a Member of the German Bundestag (CDU) and former

 he Zeitenwende. Drawing on his work in constitutional and trade policy\, a
 s well as applied policy experience\, Volkmann will explore how Europe can
  safeguard its survival amid growing external pressures\, internal divisio
 n\, and the need for institutional renewal. The talk will also consider wh
 ether the current moment marks lasting transformation or risks becoming rh
 etoric without action.\nSpeakers:\nJohannes Volkmann (German Parliament (B
 undestag))
