The kick-off event of the Forum Berlin. Politics and Academia in Dialogue was the conference 1989-2009: Remembering for the Future, held on 19/20 February 2009. Contemporary witnesses, policy-makers and scholars from academic institutions and think tanks debated the significance of the watershed year 1989 for current and future political events worldwide. The fact is: the world-shattering fall of the Berlin Wall marked the end of a divided Europe and at the same time heralded the rise of new global dangers and challenges that can only be mastered globally. Twenty years after the end of the Cold War, we must answer the following questions: What is the international community’s response to current threats and challenges such as terrorism, the financial crisis and climate change? And: How can Europe bring its experience to bear and assume its global responsibility?
