Cornelia Navari, of the University of Buckingham, will give an expert talk on Susan Strange, one of the world's leading scholars in international relations and the major European figure in its sub- discipline of international political economy (IPE).

All welcome / bring lunch!

Professor Kilcullen will present a talk based on the topic of his latest book, The Dragons and the Snakes: How the Rest Learned to Fight the West. In 1993, a newly-appointed CIA director warned that Western powers might have ‘slain a large dragon’ with the fall of the USSR, but now faced a ‘bewildering variety of poisonous snakes’.
