SUMMARY:Catalonia\, Scotland and the EU: book launch (Centre on Constitutional Change)
DESCRIPTION:At this online book launch\, authors Niklas Bremberg and Richard Gillespie will be presenting their book: Catalonia\, Scotland and the EU: Visions of Independence and Integration (Routledge). \n\nNiklas Bremberg is Associate Professor in Political Science at Stockholm University and Senior Research Fellow at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs.\nRichard Gillespie is Emeritus Professor of Politics at the University of Liverpool. \nThis event will be held on Zoom; a recording will be made publicly available on the Centre on Constitutional Change’s YouTube channel. \nAbout the book\nThe electoral success of secessionist parties in Catalonia and Scotland over the last decade\, together with Brexit and the support for Eurosceptic parties in many EU member states\, have prompted a rethink of many taken-for-granted notions about politics in Spain\, the UK and the EU. Secessionist parties in Catalonia and Scotland often combine calls for independence with support for the EU\, but independence for Catalonia might entail the loss of EU membership. In the UK\, Scotland voted for the UK to remain in the EU\, yet it was forced to leave the Union along with the rest of the country: what effect has Brexit had on Scottish independence claims? Through comparing Catalonia and Scotland\, this short volume aims to contribute to debates on\, and advance knowledge of\, visions of independence and integration\, how they interrelate in Europe’s emergent political order\, and what they entail for European integration and democracy in the EU. \nView the book on the Routledge website: \nCatalonia\, Scotland and the EU: Visions of Independence and Integration \n\nEvent registration here.

SUMMARY:Telling a new story about Europe: Insights from Psychology (Grassroots for Europe)
DESCRIPTION:Telling a New Story About Europe: Some insights from psychology and implications for the pro-EU campaign\nPsychological science has much to offer pro-EU campaigners\, but throughout the campaign\, insights from psychology have not been prominent. This webinar organised by Grassroots for Europe will focus on one set of insights: that people think in ways that are conditioned by their world views\, expressed as an emotional investment in identities and attitudes that are difficult to shake. \nNick Crosby will introduce some ideas about how these psychological factors can be used to frame better stories about our European future\, and Richard Bentall will outline recent research that carries important lessons for opposition parties about how to pitch their position on Europe.  The session will be chaired by Jane Thomas\, who will lead a discussion on how to translate these insights into practical campaigning. \n  \nMore details and registration here.

SUMMARY:A conversation with young Ukrainian leaders (Aspen Institute)
DESCRIPTION:Online panel discussion organised by the Aspen Institute. \nA cloud of uncertainty hangs over Ukraine’s future – as a sovereign state\, as a democracy\, as a European nation. The Russian military offensive has devastated towns and cities\, and 4 million Ukrainians have fled the country so far. Ukraine is fighting for its existence\, and huge questions remain – how can a peaceful solution be found\, and how can such atrocities be prevented in the future? What will the rebuilding of Ukraine look like\, and how will the country change? \nUkraine is home to an extraordinary generation of future leaders\, and young people are already affecting change in the upper levels of government\, business\, and civil society. Aspen UK has assembled a panel of young Ukrainian leaders from different sectors\, for a public online discussion about the future they envision and want to create for Ukraine. \n  \nMore details here.

SUMMARY:Exploring the government's pursuit of Brexit opportunities (The Independent)
DESCRIPTION:Online panel discussion with The Independent. \nDefenders of the prime minister claim he has shown leadership in responding to the Russian invasion of Ukraine independently of the European Union\, and that the British response has been all the stronger for our being outside the EU. \nVolodomyr Zelensky\, the Ukrainian president\, certainly seems to regard Boris Johnson as his closest ally\, speaking to him nearly every day by phone\, and addressing the House of Commons by video. On the other hand\, the British government’s claim to be “leading the world” in its welcome for refugees seems unconvincing. \nMore broadly\, Jacob Rees-Mogg’s appointment as minister for Brexit opportunities has provoked debate about what the upsides of Brexit might be. The consensus among economists is that the costs of leaving the EU will exceed the possible benefits for a long time if not indefinitely. But are there intangible benefits of having the freedom to act on the world stage? Do the British people value the principle of being able to control immigration more than the economic costs of making trade with the EU more difficult? \nJoin The Independent’s chief political commentator John Rentoul and a panel of experts\, including Anand Menon (Director of UK in a Changing Europe)\, Naomi Smith (Chief executive of Best For Britain) and Jon Stone (Policy correspondent)\, to discuss these questions. This event will be shaped by not only the ever-changing news cycle but by you\, the audience\, so feel free to submit your questions ahead of time. You will also be able to ask questions via a Q&A box during the event. \nSpeakers: \n\n John Rentoul\, The Independent’s chief political commentator\nAnand Menon\, Director of UK in a Changing Europe\,\nNaomi Smith\, Chief executive of Best For Britain\,\nJon Stone\, Policy correspondent\n\nMore details and registration here\,  and watch on demand here. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The war in Ukraine and the future of democracy in central Europe (Central European University)
DESCRIPTION:The war in Ukraine has transformed thinking about almost every aspect of the European Union\, from security to energy\, and put the spotlight on its central and east European member states. How does it affect the future of democracy in Central Europe? Does it sharpen the focus on the erosion of the rule of law and democracy in countries like Hungary and Poland\, or rather soften it\, since for a united response to Putin’s aggression in Ukraine the EU needs the support of its frontline states? \n  \nOnline lecture by the Central European University (Budapest). \nSpeaker: Timothy Garton Ash \nMore details here.

SUMMARY:The future of UK defence (Institute for Government)
DESCRIPTION:Webinar with the Institute for Government \nAfter the long years of counter-insurgency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan\, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine means the United Kingdom once again faces a conflict in Europe.

One year on from its publication\, the Institute for Government is delighted to host MoD Permanent Secretary David Williams alongside Chief of the Defence Staff Admiral Sir Tony Radakin to discuss their priorities for the Ministry of Defence and what reforms will ensure the civil service and armed forces are able to meet the threats the UK faces in the world. \nThe event will be chaired by Bronwen Maddox\, Director of the Institute for Government \nMore details here.

SUMMARY:Can the UK government deliver a Brexit dividend for farmers? (Institute for Government)
DESCRIPTION:Online panel discussion with the Institute for Government \nIn 2017\, Michael Gove called Brexit an ‘unfrozen moment’ which would allow ministers to address long-standing criticisms of the EU Common Agricultural Policy and free the government to radically reform the way it supports farmers. \nSo will redirecting England’s £2.4 billion annual farm budget deliver a substantial Brexit dividend? Will reforms bring about everything farmers\, environmentalists and taxpayers expect? And can those changes be delivered while the sector is coping with labour shortages\, rising energy prices\, new trade deals and post-Brexit regulatory changes? And how can policy on food\, farming and land use help the government meet its ambitions on net zero\, levelling up and tackling obesity? \nWith post-Brexit agricultural reforms the subject of a new IfG report\, Replacing the CAP\, this event will discuss what needs to be done to ensure a better future for food\, farming and land use in England. \nPanelists: \n\nJonathan Baker\, Deputy Director in the Future Farming and Countryside Programme at Defra\nMinette Batters\, President of the National Farmers’ Union (NFU)\nSue Pritchard\, Chief Executive of The Food Farming & Countryside Commission (FFCC)\nBeccy Speight\, Chief Executive of the Royal Society of the Protection of Birds (RSPB)\n\nThis event will be chaired by Joe Marshall\, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government. \nMore details here.

SUMMARY:Catch 2022 - Britain's economic outlook post-pandemic and during a war (Resolution Foundation)
DESCRIPTION:The end of the Covid economic crisis is finally in sight. But it has swiftly been replaced by a terrifying conflict in Europe that threatens lives in Ukraine and livelihoods far beyond its borders. The UK’s immediate post-Covid economy thankfully doesn’t include the lengthy dole queues that normally follow a recession. But it instead faces new challenges – including older workers exiting the labour market and the highest inflation for at least three decades – amid huge uncertainty. \nHow strong will the UK’s economic recovery be\, and when will it approach a new ‘normal’? What impact will the war in Ukraine have on the UK\, European and Global economic outlook? And what does all this mean for the public\, and household finances? \nIn the week running up the OBR’s Spring Statement on Wednesday 23rd March\, the Resolution Foundation is hosting an in-person and interactive webinar to debate and answer these questions. Following a presentation of new research on the UK economic outlook for 2022\, we will hear from leading experts on the challenges this will pose for families and policy makers alike. \nThe event will be open for people to physically attend\, alongside being broadcast via YouTube and the Resolution Foundation website. Viewers will be able to submit questions to the panel before and during the event via Slido. \n  \nMore details and registration here.

SUMMARY:Nordic reactions to the Russian invasion of Ukraine (Nordic Horizons)
DESCRIPTION:Online event organised by Nordic Horizons\n\n\n\nWhat do Russia’s immediate Nordic neighbours – Finland and Norway – want to see happen in the wake of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine? Should NATO react or has expansion already given Putin a useful pretext for aggression? \nAll eyes are on Ukraine\, Belarus and the Baltic Republics as the Russian President threatens further military action. But the confrontation-avoiding\, peace-keeping Nordic nations are also on high alert. \nWould Russian military action against one Nordic nation or Baltic neighbour produce a military response by all of Scandinavia? Can Finland’s long-standing neutrality policy survive? Is NATO about to gain two new Nordic members – or is this being hyped up by countries like the US and UK which might have their own motives and agendas? \nSpeakers: \n\nDr. Hans Mouritzen\, Senior Researcher\, Foreign policy and diplomacy\, Danish Institute for International Studies\nDr. Johanna Vuorelma\, Centre for European Studies\, University of Helsinki\nDr. Iver B. Neumann\, Director\, Fridtjof Nansen Institute\, Norway\nProfessor Lynn Jamieson\, Chair Scottish CND\n\nChaired by Lesley Riddoch\, broadcaster\, journalist and Director of Nordic Horizons.

SUMMARY:Do Europeans trust the French on Russia? (European Council on Foreign Relations)
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn the context of the French Presidency of the Council of the EU\, the European Council on Foreign Relations is holding an online webinar on European public attitudes towards Russia’s invasion of Ukraine\, France’s leadership\, and EU security. \nWhat can we expect from President Macron’s summit on security and defence on 10-11 March? Since Russia invaded Ukraine\, the EU has taken giant leaps forward as a geopolitical actor – but the stakes could not be higher for France\, given it not only holds the EU Council Presidency but is just weeks away from key presidential elections. \nWhat can France learn from the European public mood in the weeks before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? How do voters see the threat from Russia in terms of security and defence\, European sovereignty\, and international cooperation at large? \nThe  panel will discuss insights from new public opinion polling of 15\,000 citizens across 12 EU member states\, captured in the upcoming report A certain idea of Europe: How the next French president can lead (released 9 March)\, by Susi Dennison and Tara Varma.

SUMMARY:Scottish artists for Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:As Putin’s brutal invasion\, and the humanitarian tragedy in Ukraine continues to unfold\, it becomes ever more difficult to watch from afar. We\, as small group of artists from Scotland\, felt that it was important to come together to show our solidarity with the artists and people of Ukraine.\nRussian and Ukrainian people value culture deeply. We want to use culture to shame the Russian Government; to express solidarity with our colleagues in Ukraine\, and in particular those in Edinburgh’s twin city of Kyiv; and to show support for dissident Russian artists who have had the courage to stand in public against Putin’s war.\nThe plan is for us to protest outside the Russian Consulate on Melville Street in Edinburgh on the 9th of March at 12- 1 pm. We want to use the power of art (music\, song\, readings and visuals) to send a strong message of communal support from Scottish artists to Ukraine. We want your presence and need your help.\n\n\nProtest outside the Russian Consulate General in Edinburgh.\n\nWhat can you do?\n· First and foremost simply be there on the 9th of March\, with flags\, with visuals\, with your strong voice.\n· Wear or bring something Yellow or Blue\n· Encourage everyone you know in your networks to be there. The greater the crowd the stronger the message.\n· If you can offer a specific input in organising\, communicating or performing (visual\, song\, music\, performance) then please get in touch.\n\nOrganisers: David Greig. Nicola McCartney\, Matthew Zajac\, Jan-Bert Van Den Berg\, Penny Stone\, Harriet Mould\n\n[Image: Painting by Ukrainian Artist Maria Prymachenko – www.wikiart.org/en/maria-primachenko]
