The rise of nationalism and populism in Europe

 

The wave of populism and nationalism swept through the world over the past few years. Within Europe, the rise of the Eurosceptics has divided the EU. The Brexit referendum as well as the rise of populism within many European countries endangered the unity of the EU.

European Union more united than ever with Brexit

In 2017, the impact of United Kingdom (UK) initiating its exit from the European Union (EU) started to be felt, particularly within the UK economy. However, Brexit will indeed have a major political, economic and social impact in the UK, Europe and the world in the years to come.

Where is the United States heading with Trump ?

 

More than a year passed, since Donald Trump won the US presidential elections in November 2016. Rather than having a continuity on the American foreign policies on trade, security, climate and others, President Trump has not only been systematically rescinding and revoking policies made under the previous Obama administration, but also adopted a path that is re-positioning America's global leadership position in the world.

Implementing a Brexit Strategy

 

So far it remains unclear about how the UK will disentangle itself from the EU and how its relationship with EU will eventually be. All these changes definitely create a lot of uncertainties for business leaders, since they have to think and implement the right corporate strategy to deal with the future post-Brexit environment.

Brexit and Financial Risks

 

When former Prime Minister David Cameron made the promise in 2013 to have a Brexit referendum for the British people to decide on the fate of the United Kingdom (UK) in the European Union (EU), he probably never foresaw that it would eventually cost him his job.
