LSE European Series
Date: Tuesday 1 November 2005
Time: 6.30pm
Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building
Speaker: Professor Norman Stone
Chair: Professor Kevin Featherstone
Europe can be defined either as an ideal type or as a useful fiction: perhaps the same thing. It cannot really be defined otherwise. Norman Stone looks at the position of Russia, thrown off course by Communism, and Turkey, where he will argue that Islam in itself is not a barrier to Europe. It depends on the form of Islam.
Norman Stone is professor of international relations at Koc University in Istanbul, Turkey. He has published widely, including Europe Transformed 1878-1919.
This series is hosted by the European Institute at LSE.
This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first come, first serve basis.
