Abstract
Editorial. It has been a very interesting and tragic period for
Europe over the last month. The UK voted to leave
the EU in its Referendum, Its Prime Minister
resigned and Teresa May has taken over as the
Second female Conservative Prime Minister and
formed a new government. The UK Economy took
an initial battering in world markets but seems to
have settled down now as global players perceive
there are advantages and disadvantages for the
UK in being in the EU, but the main thing is stability
in global markets. It will also speed-up reform
of the EU and its institutions, so this may be
advantageous.
We have also seen a sharp increase in horrific terror
atrocities in Europe, notably France, Belgium
and Germany which has pointed to the need for
more effective management of our freedoms and security
of our citizens. It has been a difficult Summer
for Europe. We hope and pray that stability and
safety will return as without that society will not
be based on a balanced platform to provide for all
We are also seeing the emergence of the two contenders
for the US Presidency, Donald Trump versus
Hilary Clinton. The non-establishment business candidate
versus the female long serving politician and
social reformer. Cleveland and Philadelphia have all
given us insights into what is coming. In addition we
will soon have elections in Germany and France,
which could see major change, whilst growth in
South East Asia continues steadily which can be seen
in the positive meeting in Ulan Bator at the 11th
ASEM Summit. World regulation and development
now seems to be very much to the fore as we build
and develop a truly global international economy
accountable governmental and financial system,
accountability, good governance and transparency
will be the core underpinnings of that development
