The End of Europe: Dictators, Demagogues, and the Coming Dark Age

Wednesday, 11/15/2017
5:15 PM-7:15PM
Eaton Humanities 150
University of Colorado Boulder

Directly followed by a book signing with the author and speaker, James Kirchick, with books available for purchase from the �� Bookstore.

Once the world’s bastion of liberal, democratic values, Europe is now having to confront demons it thought it had laid to rest. The old pathologies of anti-Semitism, populist nationalism, and territorial aggression are threatening to tear the European postwar consensus apart. In riveting dispatches from this unfolding tragedy, James Kirchick shows us the shallow disingenuousness of the leaders who pushed for “Brexit;” examines how a vast migrant wave is exacerbating tensions between Europeans and their Muslim minorities; explores the rising anti-Semitism that causes Jewish schools and synagogues in France and Germany to resemble armed bunkers; and describes how Russian imperial ambitions are destabilizing nations from Estonia to Ukraine. With President Trump now threatening to abandon America's traditional role as upholder of the liberal world order and guarantor of the continent's security, Europe may be alone in dealing with these unprecedented challenges.

Nationalism and Globalism in American Foreign Policy

Wednesday, 10/18/2017
5:15 PM-7:15PM
Eaton Humanities 150
University of Colorado Boulder

Trump says he is a nationalist and globalist. And he is. But he envisions a globalism rooted in nationalism not a globalism that replaces nationalism. Professor Nau, a former White House official in the Ronald Reagan presidency, offers a constructive understanding of Trump's foreign policy that draws from his scholarly work on the US foreign policy traditions of nationalism, realism, liberal and conservative internationalism.

In order to ensure adequate seating for this event, it is strongly recommended that you register in advance.

Featuring:

Henry R. Nau, a rare conservative scholar in the academic world, is professor of political science and international affairs at the Elliott School of International Affairs, The George Washington University. The author of numerous books and articles, he also served in the White House under President Ronald Reagan. He has a B.S. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and M.A. and Ph.D degrees from The Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies.
