LSE International Relations Department Lecture Series: The Transatlantic Relationship After September 11 - Crisis: what crisis?
Date: Monday 24 November 2003
Time: 6.30pm
Venue: Hong Kong Theatre, Clement House
Speaker: Professor François Heisbourg
Chair: Professor Margot Light
In strategic terms, the Atlantic Alliance belongs to the past, along with the overall network of permanent defence alliances set up after World War II between the US and its European and Asian-Pacific allies. This is the result of basic and lasting changes in the international system, not the consequence of the Bush administration's assertiveness. However this 'death of NATO' does not preclude under certain conditions the establishment of a new strategic partnership between North America and the European Union.
François Heisbourg is director of Fondation pour la Recherché Strategique, Paris and chairman of the Foundation Council of the Geneva Centre for Security Policy.
