Carolingian Europe? The Franco-German Couple

What is the state of the relationship between France and Germany, and does the German-French couple still “lead” the European construction? With Brexit, would this domination become a problem for the Union and the Transatlantic Alliance? In this episode of .think Atlantic, IRI’s Thibault Muzergues and his guests Hans Kundnani debate all these questions - and many more. Hans Kundnani is an author and think-tanker and currently serves as Senior Research Fellow at Chatham House, Britain’s Royal Institute of International Affairs.
