Thursday 18th November - Post-US Election Forum

• Post US Election Forum Report available here

This forum will bring together academics, diplomats and journalists to examine and assess the outcome and impact of the 2004 US election results.

The war in Iraq and the diplomatic crisis surrounding it has left divisions between Europe and America and contributed to the polarization of the American electorate. This forum will offer a medium to examine some of the salient challenges and questions facing America following one of the most divisive elections in the nation's history. In particular, we will address America's role on the world stage, including its relationships with Europe and with the Middle East.

Speakers include:

• Noel Dorr (Former Irish Ambassador to the United Nations)
  
• Professor Mark Lyttle (Bard College, USA)
  
• Dr. David Ryan (Dept. of History, UCC)
  
• Lara Marlowe (Foreign Correspondent for the Irish Times)
  
• Professor Liam Kennedy (Director of the Clinton Institute for American Studies, UCD)
