Transatlantic Tandem Talk

What Does a Presidency Cost? Election Campaign Financing in the U.S. and Germany

The amount of money spent on election campaigns in the United States has increased dramatically over time, sparking debate on the influence of money in politics and its impact on the democratic process. While less in focus during this year’s turbulent election season, the topic remains critical as campaign financing has substantial potential to influence voter behavior and shape the political landscape. This Transatlantic Tandem Talk is hosted by the University of Cologne New York Office in cooperation with its partners, including the DWIH New York.
