ESU Members and Guests are Invited to an Online Lecture Program Hosted by the International Relations Council

News

The global rebalance of power continues. The ambitions, alliances, and actions of world powers have accelerated shifts in the international order that was framed in the waning days of the Second World War. What interests countries on the world stage today, what outcomes do they seek, and what role do cooperation and competition play?

The International Relations Council's Global Motivations series will paint a portrait of six world powers, their internal and external drivers, their evolving role in the community of nations, and what this means for the rest of the world. This program on October 12 addresses these questions and issues concerning the United Kingdom. Guest Speaker, Dr. Matt Beech, PhD, is a distinguished scholar and author and will give his talk live from the UK. We encourage you to read more about his biography below. This should be an informative and timely lecture, particularly since a new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, was just appointed by Queen Elizabeth II.
