Book presentation seminar

As part of the GTGC Lunch Seminars (Spring 2023), Chris Wensink and Midas van Dijk will present their book 'Regionalizing Eurasia'. The COVID-19 pandemic restricted travel and placed free trade under scrutiny. Then, the war in Ukraine triggered unprecedented economic sanctions and severing of trade ties. By contrast, this book demonstrates that the causes of a deglobalization have been growing for decades. The future, however, is not the end of globalism nor a return to nationalism, but a regionalization in which the EU, ASEAN, EEAU, Mercosur and other blocs will become the new focal points of economics and world politics. A regionalizing world will offer exciting new opportunities - but only to those who grasp them. This book will help you do that.

All are welcome to attend the book presentation at 13:00-14:00 in room 2.10B (all other lunch seminars are in room 4.78). Free lunch will be provided if you email your attendance to gtgc@leidenuniv.nl.  

We hope to welcome you!
