The first masterclass for 2015, The Transformation of Politics in Europe, will take place in Madrid from Monday 11 to Wednesday 13 May 2015 at the Fundación Ramón Areces.
This masterclass will begin with a focus on the overarching political framework, the changing political behaviour within the European Union and possible future outcomes. The second day of the masterclass will focus on UK outcomes of the elections of 7 May and the impacts for both the UK and the EU political landscapes. The final day will analyse political communication, looking at how this has changed in recent years with the emergence of digital media and the impact on the political landscape.
