With my Masters Thesis submitted, and graduation just around the corner, I got together with my cohosts, Valentina Caracci and Ricardo Salas, to record our final episode the DeFacto Political Affairs student podcast. In the episode, we introduce the new hosts, Amanda Lee and Yaser Hammadi, who will be taking over from us next semester. We also talk about the research each of us has done for our masters theses, in a discussion whose focus ranges from Mafias abroad to EU crisis management to the effects of Music on political engagement.
Rebooting the EU: Which Lessons from Trump, Brexit, and the Euro-Area Crisis?
On December 6th, I had the pleasure of taking part in a panel at the Hertie School as part of the Financial Times' #FutureofEurope project. The panel featured Dr. Henrik Enderlein, Dr. Jean Pisani-Ferry, Financial Times Associate Editor Philip Stephens, and myself, and was moderated by Financial Times Deputy Editor Roula Khalaf.
