#FlorenceLive webcast: conversations on the post-Corona world and Geopolitics
The COVID-19 pandemic has already profoundly changed how we live and work, and how the world is organised. To understand these changes and help navigate a post-Corona world, the European University Institute (EUI) School of Transnational Governance (STG) presents a webcast series of conversations and interviews with academics and high-level policy-makers. The experts will discuss social, economic and political issues relating to the new global environment from a transnational perspective, blending academic and policy analysis.
The webcasts will consist of one-hour livestreamed panel discussions every Monday on the implications of COVID-19 on: democracy; state vs. market; climate; digital; migration; the emerging world; geopolitics. In addition, interviews with high-level policymakers will be organised according at the availability of participants.
This webcast will address the post-Corona world and geopolitics, by examining the questions such as:
- Has the US lost its pre-eminence in the post-COVID world?
- Will China put its imprint on the new global governance system?
- Is Europe still relevant?
Discussants:
- Michael McFaul is the Director and Senior Fellow Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies; the Ken Olivier and Angela Nomellini Professor of International Studies in Political Science; and the Peter and Helen Bing Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, all at Stanford University. He is an analyst for NBC News and a contributing columnist to The Washington Post, and served in the Obama administration, first as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Russian and Eurasian Affairs at the National Security Council at the White House (2009-2012), and then as U.S. Ambassador to the Russian Federation (2012-2014). He has authored several books, including most recently the New York Times bestseller, From Cold War to Hot Peace: An American Ambassador in Putin’s Russia.
- Helga Maria Schmid is Secretary General of the European External Action Service (EEAS). Ms Schmid previously served as the Deputy Secretary General for Political Affairs (EEAS) and Director of the Policy Planning and Early Warning Unit of the High Representative for the CFSP (General Secretariat of the Council of the EU). Before joining the EU Institutions Ms Schmid was the Head of the Political Staff of the German Federal Foreign Office and Head of the Office of the German Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Moderator:
- Alexander Stubb is Director of the School of Transnational Governance of the European University Institute, and former Prime Minister of Finland
