Defence, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence
Hertie School of Governance addPanelists Katrin Suder, Chairperson of the Advisory Council on Digitalisation to the German Federal Government, Constanze Stelzenmüller, inaugural Robert Bosch Senior Fellow in the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution, and Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger, Senior Professor for Security Policy and Diplomatic Practice at the Hertie School of Governance and Director of the school’s Centre for International Security Policy (CISP), discuss future priorities of German and European security policies.
Digitalisation causes fundamental changes to the global state of security and means of war; cyber-attacks have become a major threat, increasingly addressing critical infrastructures of our societies. Simultaneously, artificial intelligence is shaping defence systems and strategies at an unprecedented pace. How can international actors respond and increase their resilience?

“Blue wave”meets “red wall” in US mid-term election
Hertie School of Governance addPanelists discuss future of US political parties, implications for transatlantic relations and what’s in store for 2020.
A “blue wave” has now met a “red wall” – this is how Nelson Cunningham, former advisor to President Bill Clinton and co-founder of political consultancy McLarty Associates, described the election results to an audience of 130 at a 2018 US election post-mortem at the Hertie School on 7 November. Cunningham, alongside Sudha David-Wilp, Senior Transatlantic Fellow and Deputy Director of the Berlin office of the German Marshall Fund; Peter Beyer, member of the German Bundestag and Coordinator of Transatlantic Cooperation at the Federal Foreign Office; Mark Hallerberg, Dean of Research and Faculty and Professor of Public Management and Political Economy at the Hertie School; and Andrea Römmele, Dean of Executive Education and Professor for Communication in Politics and Civil Society, discussed the outcome of the election in a panel moderated by Anna Sauerbrey, journalist at Der Tagesspiegel. Cunningham said he could see President Donald Trump reaching out to the Democrats, who now control the House of Representatives, for deals on infrastructure legislation, middle class tax cuts or international trade. But for transatlantic relations, Peter Beyer said he thinks dialogue with the US will become even more difficult, even though there is no alternative partner in the world for Europe – culturally, economically and in terms of security. Sudha David-Wilp says she’s optimistic about US politics over the next two years in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, especially as women, minorities and other Americans have shown their interest in political engagement.

Arjun Appadurai – The ghost of Schumpeter
Hertie School of Governance addDoes the nature of innovation in the sphere of digital technology today represent success or failure for contemporary capitalism? Newly appointed Hertie School Senior Fellow Arjun Appadurai revisited the political economist Joseph Schumpeter's influential ideas about "creative destruction” to shed light on this question. Examining the role of designers, investors, and consumers in the era of digital products and services, Appadurai showed how technological innovation has turned disruption into the primary entrepreneurial ideology.
