GUDRUN HARRER IN CONVERSATION WITH STEFAN WEIDNER

GROUND ZERO
Can we come to terms with 9/11?

Based on his new book "GROUND ZERO. 9/11 and the birth of the present“ (Hanser Verlag), the Islamic scholar and journalist Stefan Weidner outlines the mutual developments between the Arab world and North Atlantic societies over the last twenty years against the backdrop of the long aftermath of 9/11, which also affects the Arab revolutions and their failure. The mindset that characterised international politics after 9/11 also continues to have an impact on the corona crisis. It is urgently necessary to overcome it if we want to be able to meet the internal and external challenges of the coming decade.
