About Jörg Luyken
Punchy analysis and informed opinions on Europe's major power.
Welcome to The German Review — a publication for readers who already know the basics and want to go deeper.
We publish sharp commentary and reporting on German politics, society and foreign policy. Our focus is not on breaking news, but on understanding why things happen — and what they mean beyond Germany’s borders.
You’ll find coverage ranging from the rise of the Alternative for Germany and the future of the German economy, to Berlin’s role in Europe, NATO and the wider world. The aim is clarity rather than outrage, and explanation rather than noise — so readers can form their own judgments.
