Panelists will discuss how populism impacted elections held in 2017 in the Netherlands, France, and Germany, with particular focus on Germany's election results in September. A key issue will be the far-right populist sentiment that motivated so many voters in Germany and other European countries.

*         Robert Rohrschneider, Sir Robert Worcester Distinguished Professor of Political Science

*         Felix Meschke, Associate Professor, School of Business - Finance
Moderator: Mike Wuthrich, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Academic Director, Global & International Studies.

The Center for Global & International Studies Global Headline Series brings together faculty and outside experts to address and analyze topics of global import as they occur in real time. An open discussion will follow the panel presentations.
