Hello, Action Institute readers!
Lately, the international political landscape has been shaken by a variety of unexpected, and critical issues. The trade war between China and the U.S., fast pace scientific research in the field of Artificial Intelligence, Brexit negotiations and the institutional renewal of core offices at the EU level are just a few of the present highly debated topics our reading list proposes to investigate and understand in further detail.
In order to continue being engaged with our readers over the summer, we decided to publish this reading list to provide our followers with interesting research insights through the words of political analysts, journalists, tech scientists, and influential writers in the field.
The reading list is divided into six main sections and focuses on technology and innovation (Artificial Intelligence), the Chinese landscape, the political phenomenon of Global Populism, the US economic and political scenario at the time of president Trump, Brexit negotiations and the current features of the European landscape.
We wish you a relaxing summer, always with an eye on the policy debate!
