A Transatlantic Dialogue on the Industrial Heartlands

For a generation, people living in the traditional industrial heartlands all over the world have been buffeted by a technological and services revolution, the decline of manufacturing, and the rise of a borderless global digital economy. The result is deepening inequality, ongoing political support for right-wing populists and a hollowing out of the middle class. With this three-year project together with our partners from the U.S. and Germany we aim to create new opportunities in old industrial heartlands in both countries by forging a transatlantic dialogue, exchanging best practices and developing political strategies and policy solutions for a better, greener and more democratic future. The main goal is to deliver increased living standards and opportunities, while also working towards rebuilding trust in democracy in the U.S. and Germany. Neel Brown talks with two of the program fellows, ⁠Colleen Dougherty⁠ and ⁠Friedrich Opitz⁠, about their reflections on the fellowship's October trip to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan.
