SETA Berlin will host a web-panel titled “Anchor or Adrift? Transatlantic Relations in a Shifting Global Order” to analyze whether the transatlantic relationship is being anchored, or set adrift, in a shifting global order. The panel will discuss the relationship's future foundations and internal structure across three dimensions. The discussion also aims to answer questions regarding the pressures of a diffusing global power, structural challenges as well as Türkiye's anchoring role in a multipolar age.

The web-panel organized by SETA Berlin will be held in English.
