Department of Sociology public lecture
Date: Thursday 31 October 2013
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building
Speaker: Professor Lord Giddens
Chair: Professor Craig Calhoun
The European malaise goes deeper than the euro crisis alone, protracted and still unresolved though that may be. The EU and its member states must respond to deep-rooted changes affecting all the industrial countries. Pro-Europeans (as I am) should recognise that now is the time for a far-reaching rethink of the European project as a whole to create a model appropriate to the exigencies of the twenty-first century.
This event marks the publication of Professor Lord Giddens new book Turbulent and Mighty Continent: What Future for Europe?|
Anthony Giddens is former Director of the LSE and a member of the House of Lords.
