Talk on  Europe and India between America and China  by Timothy Garton Ash, Professor of European Studies, University of Oxford, on Tuesday, 15 January 2013 at 11.30 a.m. at Conference Hall-II of the CPR.

Abstract:

It is increasingly clear that the geopolitics of our time will be shaped by the emerging superpower rivalry between China and the United States. What role in this new world (dis)order should be played by the European Union, the world’s largest confederation of prosperous Western democracies, andby India, the world’s largest democracy? Oxford’s Professor of European Studies, who is also a leading commentator on international affairs, will speak about Europe’s current travails and likely role in the world – and ask a few questions about the part that might be played by India.
