    Immigration, Workforce and the New Europe

    Sophia, Robert Guest, Elizabeth Collett, Paul Collier, August Hanning, Syed Kamall, Parag Khanna

    Former German intelligence chief August Hanning, economist Paul Collier, and other experts convened to analyze the political and economic repercussions of the 2015 European migration crisis, which triggered polarization, Brexit, and trust deficits across the continent. The panelists distinguished between refugees and economic migrants while debating the efficacy of closed borders versus systems modeled after Singapore or Gulf states, ultimately highlighting that true stability requires addressing root causes through foreign aid and regional development. Despite consensus on the need for pragmatic integration strategies and philosophical shifts in national identity, the group concluded that a lack of political will and poor governance in origin countries currently impedes the implementation of these long-term solutions.

    Immigration, Workforce and the New Europe

    Robert Guest, Elizabeth Collett, Paul Collier, August Hanning, Syed Kamall, Parag Khanna

    Former German intelligence chief August Hanning, economist Paul Collier, and other global security experts convened to analyze the economic, political, and security dimensions of the European migration crisis. The panelists distinguished between refugees and economic migrants, arguing that Europe's disproportionate political focus has undermined global stability while driving polarization that empowered nationalist movements from the AfD to Trump. Ultimately, the discussion concluded that resolving displacement requires a fundamental shift from border-centric policies to investing in governance and economic development within origin countries to address the root causes of migration.

    The Great Global Migration: Beyond the Refugee Crisis

    Nicholas Kristof, Nancy Aossey, Paul Collier, Peter Laugharn, David Miliband

    This panel examines the structural inadequacies of the current humanitarian system in addressing the record 60 million displaced people, emphasizing the shift from temporary crises to long-term urban displacement. Speakers advocate for reconfiguring refugee policy toward economic integration and private sector investment, citing Jordan's industrial zone initiatives and the World Bank's $1 billion funding commitment as models for treating refugees as assets rather than liabilities. The discussion also challenges Western narratives of sole responsibility while highlighting the urgent need to rebalance global resources, noting that 11-month grant cycles and severe underfunding currently fail to support a reality where displacement averages 17 years.

    Global Overview

    Zanny Minton Beddoes, Willem Buiter, Sir Paul Collier, Larry Hatheway, Ana Palacio, Paul Collier

    Economists Willem Buiter, Paul Collier, and Larry Hathaway warn of a 2016 global recession driven by elevated debt, China's overstated growth, and the collapse of emerging market models, while Anna Palacio cautions that political fragmentation and the rise of populism in the US and Europe threaten globalization. The panelists argue that advanced economies face deep structural unemployment and demographic stagnation, prompting divergent prescriptions ranging from Buiter's "helicopter money" proposals to Collier's advocacy for civic over ethnic identity. Despite these divisions, the group identifies emerging consensus on urgent collective action for climate change and health crises, alongside calls for massive public infrastructure investment to restart economic momentum.
