The Future of Europe: Security, Economy, and the Transatlantic Relationship
Stephanie Flanders, Peter Beyer, Niall Ferguson, Richard Haass, Lord Mandelson, Yascha Mounk, Laura Rudas
European leaders and analysts convened to address the Eurozone's robust economic recovery amidst vulnerabilities in Germany's export sector and structural innovation deficits, while navigating a fractured political landscape marked by the rise of populism and potential autocratic drift in Central Europe. The discussion highlighted critical geopolitical challenges, including a strained transatlantic alliance driven by US protectionism and a strategic shift toward an Asian-centric global order where Europe faces pressure from China's economic dominance. Key figures such as Neil Ferguson, Peter Beyer, and Richard Haass warned that without unified fiscal reforms and a cohesive defense strategy, the Union risks further fragmentation ahead of the upcoming European Parliament elections.

The Breckoning: The Endgame for Great Britain and Europe in 2019
Anatole Kaletsky, Peter Beyer, Sir Michael Hintze, AM, GCSG, Michał Krupiński, Lord Mandelson, Sir Michael Hintze
Former UK Cabinet Minister Lord Peter Mandelson, hedge fund manager Sir Michael Hintze, Bank Pico CEO Miho Krupinski, and German Federal Minister Peter Beyer convened to analyze the severe economic and political risks of the United Kingdom's planned departure from the European Union Single Market and Customs Union. The panelists highlighted a critical imbalance where the UK's service-dependent economy faces significant regulatory barriers while the country lacks the negotiating manpower to replicate existing trade agreements with non-EU nations. Despite the government's pursuit of full autonomy, the experts warned that diverging from EU standards will inevitably reduce national income, trigger job relocations, and likely force a legislative deadlock that could precipitate a second referendum or an unmanageable no-deal exit.
