Fifteen years after the Great Recession, we are witnessing a series of striking reversals. When the crisis struck, Spain was cast among the eurozone’s “sinners,” while Germany stood out as a “saint”—a model of fiscal prudence and economic success. Austerity dominated the political and policy landscape. Today, however, the narrative has shifted. Germany’s so-called economic miracle appears less convincing, while Spain is now outperforming much of the eurozone, buoyed in part by robust public investment. In a remarkable turn, Germany itself is expanding public spending on defense and infrastructure. Meanwhile, the United States appears to be retreating from its role as global leader, evidenced by rising tariffs, declining foreign aid, and a weakening dollar. 
This event brings together four scholars to explore the causes and consequences of these transformations, and to reflect on what they signal for the future of European and global politics.
The event is taking place in Bush House South East building, room 2.10.
Speakers
Dr Robert Basedow (Assistant Professor, LSE)

May you go to this millennium, the Temple of Knowledge. This is definitely a reason to go to the UK, the British Museum, you see thousands of times more than you can think. Teacher Diana&#39;s 3-hour explanation was great, thanking her professionalism for letting us see the dead artifacts lively.

Westminster Abbey

美好的你看世界

After watching the changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace, we came to Westminster Abbey. There were a lot of people queuing up, and it took about an hour and a half to enter the church. There was an interpreter at the entrance, and you could choose Chinese. Follow the team and the interpreter will explain. My favorite is the Matisse-style painting window. The staff in the church are of high quality and good temperament, which makes people respect them.

The official residence of the British monarch, it dates back to 1703 and serves as the venue for royal ceremonies and events.

I thought it was a special ride on the Ferris wheel, but the London Eye made me hit the face! When the capsule reached the highest point, I suddenly understood why the British love to chat. The Thames, Big Ben and the debris building look like they are shining in the sun, and it is really different every day. After landing, I found that the photos were all taken as glass reflections. Forget it, leave some regrets to be true.

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious inside, but you are not allowed to take photos, you can only take photos outside. When I entered, I took a photo but was stopped by the staff. Knowing the daily life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
