Joschka Fischer

Diplomat and Political Leader: Throughout his seven-year tenure as foreign minister and the leading figure of the German Green Party, Joschka Fischer was arguably the most popular politician in his nation. Widely respected for leading the "Greens" to the center stage of German politics, he is admired for his personal integrity, charisma and pivotal position in critical national dialog about his country's role in European integration. He discusses the concept of historic responsibility in foreign policy formulation and implementation and the role of the Near and Middle East in European Union and trans-Atlantic security strategies.

Globalization Expert: Fischer's tenure atop German politics included global debates about the international anti-terrorism coalition, the role of international institutions, the destabilization of the Middle East and the impact of Western policy on Iraq and Iran. This former leader of the German Parliament deftly analyzes the intersection of politics and the economy as well as key challenges affecting the U.S.- European relationship. He continues his work with international affairs as Professor of International Economic Policy, with the rank of Lecturer of Public and International Affairs, at The Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.
