Madrid, Spain

DIRECTIONS

The last few years have seen enormous changes in European and global politics - a generational shift is taking place, and the freedom movement has to find its place. From cultural issues, to managing the economy, from securing free society to educating the next generation, those who believe in freedom have to have answers. 

At our third annual Think Tank Central meeting, we will endeavour to find answers to these major issues, by bringing together different pro-freedom voices from around the world. 

Join us in Madrid on 21st-22nd of September as we advance freedom.

Roundtable 1

Economics: Does Free Trade have a Future?

Meeting Room 2.5

Free Trade has long been a linchpin of Western economic policy. The free movement of goods around the world has long been seen as a driver of economic development, advancement of opportunity, and an accelerator for innovation. However, free trade has fallen out of favour. Are the critiques of free trade fair? And how can advocates for free trade better present their ideas?


This year, we have changed the format of Think Tank Central to put a greater emphasis on dialogue between participants. As such we have organised the event into Working Groups, in which two opening positions will be presented (Alex Chafuen, Arvid Hallen, Maxwell Marlow), followed by a roundtable discussion engaging all participants moderated by Robert Tyler.

Economics: Europe as a 'Regulatory Superpower'?

Entrepreneurship Meeting Room

The phrase ‘regulatory superpower’ has been used to describe the European Union, however is such a title a cause for Europe to be proud or embarrassed? As an ever-growing number of regulations are added to the statute books, is it possible that the EU is now doing more harm than good? Or should Europe lean into its position as a regulator?

Geopolitics: Conservative answers to Cold War II

Entrepreneurship Meeting Room

Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and John Paul II are all seen as conservative heroes of the last Cold War – who helped to defeat communism and defend the free world. The Wests dominance on the international stage is once again being challenged by external threats. With Iran, Russia, China, and other authoritarian states working together to undermine the international rules-based system, how can conservatives respond?

Presentation of the European Confederalist Society

Entrepreneurship Meeting Room

During Think Tank Central, the “European Confederalist Society” is being launched. It aims to gather academics, writers and participants to the policy debate that support decentralisation in the European Union, respect for the ability of the EU’s 27 democracies to make their own choices, while opposing ever greater transfers of power to the central European Union policy level. During the event, its manifesto will be presented, with comments by some members of the new organisation’s patronage committee. “European Confederalism” provides an alternative to those supporting an exit from the European Union and those craving for “European federalism”, which has now come to signify ever more centralisation of power at the EU level. Launch hosted by Pieter Cleppe.

Roundtable 5

Culture: Is Culture Still Upstream of Politics?

Meeting Room 1.1

It has long been said that Culture is upstream of politics – that is to say that what is taking place in the cultural arena, will eventually play out in the political arena. However, with so much choice available in media, is it still possible for culture to have such an influence on the political debate?

This year, we have changed the format of Think Tank Central to put a greater emphasis on dialogue between participants. As such we have organised the event into Working Groups, in which three opening positions will be presented (Mike Gonzalez, Mario Fantini, Frank Furedi), followed by a roundtable discussion engaging all participants moderated by Rodrigo Ballester.

Ideology: Can liberals and conservatives still get along?

Throughout the last century, conservatives and liberals worked together to push back against the advancement of socialism. The policy of so called ‘fusionism’ was supported by UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and US President Ronald Reagan. Yet in recent years there has been a rift, which begs the questions – can liberals and conservatives still get along?
