Barack Obamaʼs America: What Are the Implications for Europe?
November 13th, at 7 p.m.
Georgia Tech College of Management Room 200
800 West Peachtree Street NW

The election of Barack Obama stirred great enthusiasm in Europe, as elsewhere in the world. The new president seems to Europeans to be not only the antithesis of George W. Bush, but also closer to European values and sensibilities in the international realm. Is this myth or reality? What will Barack Obamaʼs foreign policy be like? How will the trans-Atlantic relationship evolve? Is the new America really more in step with Europe?

An international lawyer and member of the Paris and New York bars, Laurent Cohen-Tanugi specializes in trans-national mergers and acquisitions and international arbitration. He holds a degree from the Ecole normale supérieure and the Institut dʼétudes politiques de Paris [Institute of Political Studies of Paris].
