About Dr. Stephen Davies
Dr Steve Davies experience includes being the Head of Education at the Institute of Economic Affairs in London and program officer at the Institute for Humane Studies (IHS) at George Mason University in the USA. A historian, he graduated from St Andrews University in Scotland in 1976 and gained his PhD from the same institution in 1984. He has authored several books, including Empiricism and History (Palgrave Macmillan, 2003). He is a prolific and influential publicist and commentator, one of the first authors who has foreseen the current social and political trends that challenge the global economic and political status quo these days.
The talk will be co-facilitated by Prof. Dragoș Aligica and will take as a starting point the book written by Dr Davies, The Economics and Politics of Brexit: The Realignment of British Public Life. The book told us that we should not think of Brexit as an act of inexplicable national self-harm, a moment of collective madness, or as something that makes no sense. Rather it was the outcome of a change in the way politics was structured, of a kind that had happened before. This is the process of realignment, the replacement of the old aligning issue by a new one, and the working out of this in electoral and party politics. The British developments are a reflection of more general trend. The same realignment is at work in Continental European and American politics. The implications for global business, economics and society are momentous. Our conversation will explore these and other related implications, including their relevance for countries like Romania.
We are looking forward to debating the hot topic of Brexit. Let`s get inspired!
