[Roundtable with GEG] Competing Models of Political Capitalism: An Assessment of the European Strategy

On Zoom

In the confrontation between China and the United States, Europe is still trying to define its stance. While the political capacity and strategy of both Beijing and Washington to drive, transform and develop innovation, industry, green technologies and science is becoming clear, what is the EU doing? Does it have the right strategy and the necessary resources?

Speakers:

• Philippe Aghion, Professor, Collège de France (Chair Institutions, Innovation, and Growth), Invited Professor at Harvard University and at the London School of Economics
• Francesca Ghiretti, Analyst, Brussels Office, Mercator Institute for China Studies
• Sarah Guillou, Director - Innovation & Competition Department, Observatoire français des conjonctures économiques (OFCE), Sciences Po
• Marvin Suesse, Assistant Professor of Economics at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, and a Research Fellow at Lund University, Sweden

This event is part of a new series of weekly roundtables:

GEG Weekly: Innovative Perspectives on European Affairs

The European Union is at a turning point. The war in Ukraine, climate change, and the future of the EU's enlargement raise the question of its place in the world and of its integration process. This new series of weekly talks aims to offer high-level, transnational, in-depth discussions to address these questions by bringing together high-level scholars, policy experts and highly motivated students.

These talks consist of 1-hour weekly roundtables in English uniting the best of academia, decision makers and European stakeholders in order to better integrate the work of academics and operational approaches.

They are organised by the Groupe d’Études Géopolitiques in partnership with Sciences Po’s Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics and in collaboration with the College of Europe, European Institute at Columbia University, European Centre at the University of Cambridge, European University Institute in Florence, Université Libre de Bruxelles.
