Global Politics Seminar 2018: “Post-globalization, identities and politics”

Young Spanish political leaders from seven different political parties met on February 23 and 24, 2018 in a new edition of the Global Political Seminar. Organized by Aspen Institute España, this seminar is part of the Global Political Program structured around a seminar and four sessions throughout the year. This initiative was launched during the 2012-2013 academic year, under the name Political Leadership Program, and is now in its fifth edition. The Program intended to provide a forum for discussion among politically minded and public service individuals who have demonstrated leadership potential. On this occasion, the seminar was entitled: “Post-globalization, identities and politics”.

The Program is co-directed by Juan Moscoso del Prado (former MP for GPS) and Guillermo Mariscal Anaya (GP), and is structured through various debates throughout the year structured from lectures, in order to discuss issues relevant in the context of politics and public service. The seminars focus on three fundamental areas: geopolitics, ethics and international economics.

Pedro Sánchez, Pablo Casado, Meritxell Batet, Dolors Montserrat, Carmen Monton, Mario Garcés, Emiliano García-Page, Javier Maroto o Eduardo Madina are some of the political leaders that have participated in the Program along its five previous editions.

Likewise, more than 40 speakers have participated in our sessions; among them Javier Solana, President of Aspen Institute España; Hugo Dixon, founder and editor of Reuters Breakingviews; Robin Wright, journalist and international policy analyst; Rebeca Grynspan, General Secretary of SEGIB; Pablo García-Berdoy, former Ambassador of Spain in Germany and current permanent representative of Spain to the European institutions; Robin Niblett, director of Chatham House; Oscar Fanjul, vice president of Omega Capital and member of the Board of Aspen Institute España.

In this edition, the seminar was moderated by Íñigo Alfonso, RNE’s parliamentary correspondent, and Juan Moscoso del Prado, head of the Department of International Relations and Foreign Action of the Economic and Social Council.
