Germany and the UK: Contrasts and Similarities - Foundation Office United Kingdom and Ireland
Discussion
Details
Throughout this year, the Federal Trust, the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung and the Global Policy Institute will be jointly organising a series of panel discussions that will assess the different approaches of the UK and Germany to important policy issues.
In the first of these discussions we will focus on the issue of migration and the different approaches and attitudes adopted in the two countries. The contentious debate regarding migrants from Bulgaria and Romania is the latest example of a divisive issue that remains at the top of the agenda for many national governments.
