The fourth Masterclass of 2015 with Fundación Ramón Areces, ‘Spain, the EU and the USA: What future do they have in the new global economy?’, took place this December in Madrid.
The 26 selected participants took classes with LSE academics Julius Sen and Professor Emeritus Michael Cox, and Steve Clemons, Editor-at-Large for The Atlantic. Update: read the El Mundo article on the classes.
The Masterclass focused on the global shifts in the economic balance of power that have seen a significant rise in emerging markets, particularly in Asia and Latin America. The three lecturers explained that many countries have been able to take advantage of this for historical, linguistic and cultural reasons, such as Spain and the USA in Latin America and the UK in Asia and Africa. But they also exposed the major problems the global economy is facing.
This is a terrific programme pulling together an independent expert from LSE Enterprise talking on Europe, one of the great observers of the American scene reflecting on the US in 2015, and myself challenging the view that the West and the United States are in terminal decline in the so-called Asian century. With an engaged group of senior professionals discussing the major issues of the day, one would be hard pressed to find a more stimulating environment. Professor Michael Cox, LSE IDEAS
We look forward to working with Fundación Ramón Areces again in 2016.
