About

In 2010, Esade launched its Center for Global Economy and Geopolitics, EsadeGeo, chaired by Dr. Javier Solana, former EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy. The Center performs research on economic globalization and its interactions with geopolitics and global governance, creating knowledge on the links between business, economic and social leadership, social realities, and global governance.

Its staff of 11, including 4 expert researchers, also provides an interdisciplinary forum where scholars and political, business, and social leaders actively debate international matters and their local impact. EsadeGeo benefits from synergies with many of Esade Business & Law School’s departments, centers, and institutes, such as its Institute for Data-Driven Decisions, as well as a wide network of external academic collaborators. The center also leads a Horizon 2020 research project on the European Union’s external action (ENGAGE) involving a consortium of 13 academic and think tank institutions and takes part in a second Horizon 2020 project (GLOBE) on global governance.
