SUMMARY:Is ‘Fortress Europe’ back? Cross-border M&A and State control on 
 foreign investments
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, globalisation and free trade have lost thei
 r positive connotations. In particular\, China’s foreign policy by inves
 tments\, and more generally its strategic Belt and Road initiative\, hav
 e raised doubts and fears. Free markets are receding. Populists preach p
 rotectionism and in various states public opinion follows. As part of th
 is\, State control on foreign investments has increased tremendously. It
  seems as if ‘Fortress Europe’ was (re-)building walls and closing its g
 ates again. The panel will discuss the status quo\, recent trends\, like
 ly developments and its effects on European M&amp\;A.
