Tuesday 19 March, from 06:00 p.m., Juju’s Bar and Stage, Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London.

PS21’s 2019 programme of events continues with an in-depth discussion of the changing nature of European politics.

Peter Apps (Moderator) – Reuters Global Affairs Columnist, Founder and Executive Director of PS21

Julia Ebener – Fellow, Institute for Strategic Dialogue

Georgina Wright – Senior Researcher, Brexit, Institute for Government

Sherrill Stroschein – Reader in Politics, University College London

London Event 11 March – Changing Face of the United Nations

Posted in Conflict, Events, Geopolitics, PoliticsTagged , , Leave a comment

Monday, 11 March, from 06:00 p.m., King’s College London, Room 1.67, Franklin-Wilkins Building Waterloo Campus, SE1 9NH

Hosted by the King’s College London’s War Studies Department.

Since its inception in 1945, the United Nations has played an instrumental part in global affairs. it has served as a platform in resealing international disputes, maintained peace in turbulent areas across the globe and played host to altruist diplomats and despotic dictators alike. It has not, however, been free of controversy. Criticism directed at the supposed ineffectiveness of the United Nations Security Council and accusations of abuse towards members of the peacekeeping corps, demonstrate that it is not a perfect organisation. As we delve deeper into the 21st Century, the future of the United Nations remains uncertain. Will it buckle and break under the pressure created by rising nationalism among its member states, or will it thrive in our ever more technological and connected world. Join PS21, hosted by King’s College London, for a discussion on the Future of the United Nations.

Speakers:

Dr Pablo de Orellana (Moderator) – Teaching Fellow at King’s College London, War Studies department.

Marcus Lenzen – Program advisor from the UN Department of Political Affairs from New York.

Vijay Mehta – Chair of Uniting for Peace and founding trustee of the Fortune Forum charity.

(Arrival Notice TBC).
