The US Presidential Election

  • We are closely following the presidential election campaigns in the USA. At the beginning of November, the world power decides its leader and thus also influences the fate of global affairs. How will the change in the highest office in the USA affect the various regions of the world, and how do they see what lies ahead? The GIGA welcomes international experts to a round table discussion on the question of what the new presidency means for the world. We invite our audience to be part of the exchange.

    Prof. Dr. Eckart Woertz is the Director of the GIGA Institute for Middle East Studies.

    GIGA Focus Middle East | 8/2024

    America’s 2024 Election and Europe’s Middle East Dilemma

    The 2024 US presidential election will redefine America’s role in the Middle East. With US priorities being revisited, Europe must recalibrate its foreign policy in the region to safeguard strategic interests such as regional stability, energy security, and the management of migration flows.
