Sunday, January 27. 2013Interview about Obama's Nomination of John BrennanPosted by Joerg Wolf in In-House News, US Foreign Policy on Sunday, January 27. 2013 Deutsche Welle, Germany's international broadcaster, interviewed me about John Brennan and his nomination for CIA Director. The article is available in various languages, including Arabic, Turkish, German, Albanian and Chinese, because my opinion about the CIA is so super important that folks need to read it in their mother tongue. ;-) Not In English though. My argument was in a nutshell that Brennan is a good choice for CIA Director because he worked for the agency in the operative and analytical divisions, has Middle East expertise, and is close to Obama. Better than a politician or a general.

It was an honor to participate in this survey and a good opportunity for reflection as well as to think about some big questions. In addition to 28 multiple choice questions, we were asked to complete four sentences and I believe there is a common theme in my answers: Continue reading "Accepting Our Limits Makes for a Stronger Alliance" Wednesday, April 6. 2011Atlantic Review on Facebook and TwitterPosted by Joerg Wolf in In-House News on Wednesday, April 6. 2011 You are invited to follow Atlantic Review on Twitter and on Facebook.

To achieve this, the website is designed to be used by everybody with an interest in transatlantic relations, and acts as a source for timely news updates, commentary, and the opportunity for people around the world to discuss pressing transatlantic issues. We select, summarize and comment on articles, analyses and reports from a large number of credible sources (newspapers, magazines, and internet media) from across the political spectrum, trying to lay the ground for deeper understanding on both sides of the Atlantic. We believe that our critical, but fair and multifaceted news coverage can advance a meaningful transatlantic partnership and mutual understanding in the spirit of the Fulbright Program. We strive to confront anti-American sentiments in Europe and Anti-European sentiments in the US as well as ignorance on both sides. We are convinced that there is value in a strong transatlantic relationship, but we recognize there are real problems that need to be addressed if the relationship is to succeed. We do not gloss over these problems, but instead provide critical, candid, and balanced perspectives on the status of transatlantic relations. Popular topics of our blog posts include: Afghanistan, Anti-Americanism, NATO, Iran, Iraq, Terrorism, European Union. Click here for a full list of the issues we cover. Learn more about:
Atlantic Review was founded in 2003 by three US and German Fulbright Alumni who were concerned about the deterioration of the US-German relationship. However, Atlantic Review now covers not only US-German relations, but aims for the whole spectrum of transatlantic relations issues. Atlantic Review is currently edited by Joerg Wolf (Berlin, Germany) and Kyle Atwell (Half Moon Bay, CA). Joerg Wolf founded Atlantic Review with the US and German Fulbrighters Scott Brunstetter and Joerg Geier in July 2003. Joerg Wolf works as project manager and Editor-in-Chief of the Atlantic Community, the open think tank on global issues, published by the Atlantic Initiative e.V. in Berlin. Joerg studied political science at the Free University of Berlin and worked as a research associate for the International Risk Policy project at the Free University's Center for Transatlantic Foreign and Security Policy. He has been a Fulbright Fellow at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and Washington DC and has worked for the Friedrich Ebert Foundation in Cairo and in Berlin. Kyle Atwell joined the Atlantic Review in November 2007. Originally from California, his interest in transatlantic relations focuses on defense. Currently, Kyle is an infantry officer serving in the United States Army. Previously Kyle has worked for NATO Headquarters in Brussels, the European Union Office of the Municipality of Prato, Italy, and studied transatlantic security relations at Lund University in Sweden. He has also served as Executive Editor of the International Affairs Journal at UC Davis, worked for an arms control NGO in Washington D.C., and as a Field Representative for a California state legislator.

Sunday, November 29. 2009ChangePosted by Joerg Wolf in German Politics, In-House News on Sunday, November 29. 2009 Franz Josef Jung, Germany's former defense minister and current labor minister, resigned on Friday over his handling of a controversial airstrike in Afghanistan. Germany's top soldier Inspector General Schneiderhan and Deputy Defense Minister Wichert resigned on Thursday, reports Spiegel (in English). The Bundestag's defense committee will most likely establish a parliamentary investigation into the affair, which could erode public support for the Afghanistan mission even further. The good news is that Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, Germany's current defense minister, has had a promising start since taking over in early October and has started making the necessary changes. "From referring to the Afghanistan mission as a 'war' to announcing a slight increase in troop numbers, he has gained the support of the military," writes Spiegel (in English) in another article. Endnote: Change has come to Atlantic Review in the form of a software upgrade.

Sunday, November 8. 2009That Vision Thing (Or: The Best of Atlantic Review)Posted by Editors in In-House News, Transatlantic Relations on Sunday, November 8. 2009 This is a guest post from our long-time reader and commenter John Hadjisky, who comments as "John in Michigan" on Atlantic Review I've been thinking about how to explain the trans-Atlantic relationship to an average citizen on either side, in broad strokes. Part of the problem is a lack of common vocabulary. Here on Atlantic Review we tend to bash away at that problem using a combination of rants and highly technical analysis. I have nothing but praise for a good rant, especially one that attracts readers. But, rants have obvious problems. Technical arguments, meanwhile, at best are wonkish, and at worst are nit-picking. Occasionally, however, we get some real gems here. So for my first official guest post, I decided to mine the archives and highlight what I like best about Atlantic Review. I hope everyone will add their own "best of" links. Continue reading "That Vision Thing (Or: The Best of Atlantic Review)"
