LSE European Series
Date: Wednesday 19 October 2005
Time: 6.30pm
Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building
Speaker: The Rt Hon the Lord Patten of Barnes
Chair: Maurice Fraser
Chris Patten sets out some of the existential questions for Europe, posed in his new book Not Quite the Diplomat. What is the EU's final frontier? What are its core values? Can it repair the fault lines between Brussels, governments and peoples?
Chris Patten was European Commissioner for foreign relations from 1999-2004. Prior to this he served in the governments of both Margaret Thatcher and John Major, serving as Conservative Party Chairman for the 1992 general election. After losing his seat in that election he was appointed Governor of Hong Kong, a position he held from 1992 to 1997.
This series is hosted by the European Institute at LSE.
