SUMMARY:Globalist Coffeehouse: Economic Migration Around the World
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Globalist Coffeehouse at the 5280 Burger and Taphouse\,  7032 Wood Hollow Dr\, on WEDNESDAY\, February 19th\, at 6:30 p.m.  \n\n \nEconomic Migration Around the World\n\nThroughout history\, migration has played a key role in the establishment of borders\, territories\, and countries. Think of nomads traveling across vast types of lands and vegetation in order to continue moving onward\, despite not having an established settlement. Yet\, their influence plays a key in how future settlements came about.\n\nFast forward to the present day\, the level of international reliance on one another- in economic terms- has become a major factor in how we conduct business; it is difficult to imagine otherwise.\n\nWhen it comes to specific policies\, each country has its own understanding in regards to refugees\, immigration\, and ultimately a path towards citizenship. Although the process might be varied\, all countries agree that they want a positive contribution within their borders. However\, what happens when there are anomalies? What regulations should be set in place in order to adhere to the laws? What implications might climate change\, catastrophe\, or war play in how a country dictates its immigration policy?\n\n\nPlease join us for a lively discussion.\n\n\nFor non-members: Please register first to receive your invitation as a guest.

SUMMARY:Brexit 5 Years Later - Where are We Now\, and What are the Future Implications?
DESCRIPTION:In 2020\, the UK left the EU. What were the expectations\, and where are we now? It’s said that Brexit will cost the UK economy 4% of GDP over the long term. Today\, polls show that most individuals in the UK regret the decision. And what about its impact on the EU? Who has benefited from this action? Many would say Ireland and even the EU as corporations moved from London to Dublin\, Paris\, or other European cities and even countries to remain in the EU. There is talk of a “reset” with a focus from the EU perspective on long-term fishing rights and freedom of movement. Finally\, and perhaps most significantly\, what are the implications for both organizations\, the UK and the EU\, with new US administrations’ tariff policies on imports and potentially disengaging from NATO?\n\n\nDr. Michael W. Mosser is the Director of the University of Texas at Austin Center for European Studies (CES). He is also an Associate Professor of Instruction with a joint appointment in the Department of Government and the International Relations and Global Studies (IRG) program. He is a Distinguished Scholar at the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law and was the Executive Director of the Global Disinformation Lab (GDIL) from 2022 to 2024. \n\n\n\nDr. William Nichols is the Chair of the Department of Environmental Science and Policy\, Global Studies\, and Political Science at St. Edwards University. He has taught various courses over the years\, focusing in particular on International Relations\, European Politics\, American Foreign Relations\, and Strategic Intelligence. Dr. Nichols is active in global initiatives on the St. Edwards campus and abroad. He has led 12 European and Asian study programs.\n\n\n\n\nFor non-members: Please register first to receive your invitation as a guest.
