New Dimensions of World Domestic Politics

On December 10, 1971, German Chancellor Willy Brandt was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his Ostpolitik as a commitment to peace and security in the Cold War world, on the one hand, and his advocacy of deepening Western integration, on the other. From the United Nations Agenda 2030 to the Guidelines for a More Peaceful World, Willy Brandt's main ideas have found expression in German and international politics.

With the lecture series and the first Willy Brandt Lecture on December 7, 2021, the impulses of an international policy emanating from Willy Brandt will be illuminated with a view to today's challenges. Also, the competence of an intellectually and scientifically based political debate will be broadly and argumentatively shown. The political reference point of the 50th anniversary will be the event „Peace Policy of Our Time“ on December 8, 2021, which will address the question of how social democracy can revitalize the European peace mission in a more confusing world.
