[Event] Forum on Geopolitics Lent Term Events
17 JAN. AT 5.30PM, “TOP OF THE TROUBLE SPOTS: FORECASTING GEOPOLITICAL TROUBLE FOR 2018” [1] IN CORPUS CHRISTI’S MCCRUM LECTURE THEATRE
The Forum on Geopolitics is pleased to present this panel-style event, chaired by Channel 4 News’ Jonathan Rugman. Following the tumultous years of 2016 and 2017, this panel seeks to provide a geopolitical forecast for trouble in 2018. Together with speakers Tim Marshall, Robert Ward, Sean West, and Ayse Zarakol, Rugman will open the 2018 with an exploration of the panel’s prediction for “Top of the Trouble Spots” for the year.
23 JAN. AT 5.30PM, “BREXIT, GERMANY, AND THE FUTURE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION” [2] IN CORPUS CHRISTI’S MCCRUM LECTURE THEATRE
A year after Prime Minister Theresa May announced her strategy for Britain’s exit from the European Union, Britain and the European Union are committed to finalising their divorce on March of 2019. This has renewed scrutiny, and pressure, on German leadership both at home and in the European Union. The Forum on Geopolitics is pleased to welcome Prof. Hans-Werner Sinn, former President of the Ifo Institute, for a lecture made possible by the generous support of Cook Holdings. Prof. Sinn will explore the challenges–and opportunities–facing Britain, Germany, and the European Union.
7 FEB. AT 5.30PM, “THE PARTITION OF UKRAINE: A NIGHTMARE” [3] IN THE PETERHOUSE THEATRE
As part of its Nightmare series, Dr. George Friedman (CEO of Geopolitical Futures and founder of Stratfor) will explain how an escalation of the ‘New Cold War’ leads to a new Iron Curtain through Ukraine, and what the subsequent political fallout would be. The event will set the stage for the Forum’s upcoming research project on The New Intermarium, which aims to examine the new geopolitics in Central and Eastern Europe.
