Constanze Stelzenmueller

Constanze Stelzenmueller is a prominent German scholar and expert in transatlantic relations, currently serving as the director of the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution. Known for her insightful analyses on European politics and U.S.-Germany relations, Stelzenmueller has contributed significantly to discussions on democracy, populism, and the rise of far-right movements in Germany. In recent news, she was referenced for her comments about the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, where she emphasized that while the AfD is an extreme-right party, it should not be classified as neo-Nazi due to Germany's stringent laws against such ideologies.
