The West at the dawn of a new era
Bernd Ulrich
Head of the politics editorial department of Die Zeit
The political self-evident truths have been seriously shaken. The world as we knew it is »out of joint«. But the contours of a new world are now becoming increasingly clear. You just have to want to see it.
The shocks of these years are helpful and necessary in order to open the eyes of the enlightened, but also privileged circles of this country to the causes that have been suppressed for far too long: the force with which the global trouble spots are coming closer to our lives, and the grotesque and obscene injustices that are becoming so visible and that the victims will no longer put up with, here and worldwide ...
In times of Brexit, Trump America, IS terror, global refugee flows and new nationalism, there is a growing need and necessity for political stocktaking and analyses that extend beyond the day.
In recent years, Bernd Ulrich has dedicated himself to this work with bravura and has repeatedly asked with a cool mind about the causes and correlations of the countless national and international crises. Based on this, Bernd Ulrich creates a precise picture of the epoch, which is indispensable for the political culture of this country and for a highly necessary democratic commitment.
