European Institute Public Debate

2017: Will the EU survive?

Thursday 1 December 2016 | 18.30 - 20.00 | Old Theatre, Old Building

2016 has been a difficult year for the European Union (EU) and the outlook for 2017 looks no less challenging. While the EU member states will have to find collective answers to continuing problems in the Eurozone, to the refugee situation and other pressing issues, a number of key member countries will hold important elections which could well alter the political picture in Europe. This event will discuss the prospects for the EU in 2017, including expert perspectives from Germany, The Netherlands, France and the Czeck Republic

Chair: Dr. Sara Hageman, LSE and UK in a Changing Europe

European Institute Seminar

Italy's economic challenges and the constitutional referendum

Friday 2 December 2016 | 13.00 - 14.30 | COW1.11, Cowdray House

Speaker: Lorenzo Codogno
Chair: Waltraud Schelkle  

On 4 December, Italians will vote on a referendum to decide on proposed constitutional changes that would strengthen the power and stability of the government, streamline parliament and law making by allowing the Lower House to decide on most matters, and make it clearer the relationship between central and local government. Together with ongoing economic weakness, fiscal problems and stability issues in the banking sector this makes for a “Triple Witching Hour” for Italy, with potential severe and profound economic and political consequences. Lorenzo Codogno will discuss possible political scenarios and their economic and financial consequences for Italy and the rest of Europe.  

This event is free and open to all. Please register through Eventbrite.
