A PRE-EMPTIVE FOREIGN POLICY IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER

(A Debate Organised By Intelligence²)

Royal Geographical Society, September 13th 2004

Francine Stock (Chair), Gary Hart, Simon Jenkins, Christopher Hitchens, David Aaronovitch

We attended this meeting as part of the America 2025 Project. This debate examined whether or not a pre-emptive foreign policy could be considered as legitimate, and the circumstances under which, if legitimate, it could be correctly applied. The debate considered the issue in the light of current US policy in Iraq.

WHY BELIEVE IN EUROPE?

(A Talk Organised By The ICA)

Institute of Contemporary Arts, March 7th 2005

Stephen Pollard (Chair), Mark Leonard, Will Hutton.

We attended this meeting as part of the America 2025 Project. This talk examined the extent to which Europe offers the world an alternative ideological model to the fundamentalisms of American Protestantism, Chinese Market Communism, and Middle Eastern Islamicism. Could Europe become an ideological alternative to North America, China, and the Middle East?
