Description

On Friday 24th October, as part of the Europa Institute's (Edinburgh University) occasional lecture series, Scots Tory MEP Struan Stevenson will look at the effect of free enterprise in a world governed by four political ideologies, all of which are developing at very different speeds.

In ‘The New World Order: Conflicting Political Ideologies in an Uncertain World', he draws on a number of private conversations with some of the world's most influential leaders to pose the question - is this model a recipe for success, in which forces unify, or a recipe for eternal chaos?

The lecture will be chaired by Drew Scott, Professor of European Union Studies at Edinburgh University and Co-Director of the Europa Institute.

The floor will be open to questions directly after the lecture.

The lecture will take place between 6pm - 7.30pm at Lecture Theatre 175, School of Law, Old College (on the corner of Chambers Street and South Bridge). It is open to members of the public, as well as students, and is free of charge, with doors opening at 5.30pm.
