  <title><![CDATA[Is Germany's Future Brown or Green?]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://inta.gatech.edu/people/person/a0e4d2fc-cfd1-5fc6-9bea-c5ca54492cda">Claire Greenstein</a>, a postdoctoral fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, recently co-authored an article in <em>Slate</em> entitled &quot;Is Germany&rsquo;s Future Brown or Green?&quot;</p>

<p>Here&#39;s an excerpt:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced on Monday that she&rsquo;s stepping down as the party chief of the Christian Democratic Union, or CDU, and that she won&rsquo;t seek re-election to Germany&rsquo;s highest political office in 2021. &ldquo;The time has come to open a new chapter,&rdquo; she&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46020745">explained</a>, leaving pundits&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/29/world/europe/angela-merkel-replacements-candidates.html">scrambling</a>&nbsp;to figure out who might succeed Europe&rsquo;s most powerful leader.</p>

<p>For the first time in at least a decade, no one can accuse German politics of being boring.</p>
