Rethinking the Relationship Between Economics and Geopolitics

With Leonhardt van Efferink
The impact of geopolitics on our economy should be one of the most exciting areas of economics but is often understated in the mainstream despite its clear significance and wide-ranging impact on the economy – which is ever more so given the several major on-going geopolitical events occurring today from the frostier relations between the EU and Russian to the Syrian civil war and refugee crisis.

Exploring the relationship on both a national and European level, the talk given by Leonhardt van Efferink promises to provide great new insights to how we can view geopolitical events and their consequences for our economy and greater wellbeing in multiple time dimensions. 

After working for the Dutch Ministry of Finance and three major banks as a senior policy advisor and country risk analyst, Leonhardt van Efferink founded ‘Geomeans’, a geopolitics consultancy in 2011 where he has led workshops for organisations including, the Bundeswehr, ABN Amro and NATO. He holds two Master’s degrees from Erasmus University Rotterdam and King’s College London and is completing his PhD at Royal Holloway, University of London. He is currently a course leader of five modules at the University of Maastricht’s summer course programme and a part-time lecturer at the University of Amsterdam.
