LSE IDEAS Transatlantic Programme Roundtable
Date: Wednesday 20 January 2010
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building
Speakers: Professor Michael Cox, Professor Rob Singh, Justin Webb
One year on from Barack Obama's inauguration as President of the United States, the IDEAS Transatlantic Programme brings together a panel of experts to discuss the progress his administration has made. Have relations with Europe and the Muslim World been rebuilt after the discord of the Bush years? Have the US and its allies now got a strategy to win in Afghanistan? Will the US-China relationship come to define the age of Obama and can the United States survive this economic crisis as the preeminent superpower?
This event will launch a major report detailing the Administration's successes and failures from its first year in office. Copies will be available to purchase on the night, priced £5.
This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first come, first served basis. For more information, email ideas.events@lse.ac.uk| or call 0207 849 4612.
Haiti collection - at all LSE public events over the next few weeks a collection will be taken which will be donated to the Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC) who are coordinating the appeal for aid in the disaster-hit country. All LSE public events are free, and we are asking that those who attend these events give what they can afford, to help those affected by the devastation caused by this natural disaster. Should you wish to contribute directly, donations to the appeal can be made by calling 0370 60 60 900, or by visiting www.dec.org.uk|.
