II Conference of Economic Diplomacy

Economic diplomacy has become a central element in the external activity of governments at both the state and sub-state levels. In a global environment that is increasingly open and more complex at all levels, but especially at the economic level, it is essential to have instruments to support the external economic action of companies and professionals.

PRESENTATION:

Economic diplomacy has become a central element in the external activity of governments at both the state and sub-state levels. In a global environment that is increasingly open and more complex at all levels, but especially at the economic level, it is essential to have instruments to support the external economic action of companies and professionals. These instruments are not limited to the protection of interests strictly economic and financial, but increasingly address aspects such as energy security, climate change or labor relations.

In this second conference will be addressed how the geopolitical changes experienced in recent years are influencing the international investment decisions of companies and how economic diplomacy is reacting to them. Special emphasis will be placed on the current exit negotiation framework of the United Kingdom of the European Union, given its historical and economic relevance.

The Conference of Economic Diplomacy will take place on February 21^th, 2018 and is part of a series of lectures given at the Palau Macaya.
