Le Lycée Henri-IV accueille une conférence en anglais de Nicholas Kralev, proposée par l’Ambassade des Etats-Unis.
The end of the Cold War and the unification of Europe are considered major victories for Western diplomacy. Such victories are much more elusive today, and their lessons must not be forgotten — especially when the events and developments that began in 1989 affected millions of lives across the continent and far beyond its borders. Blending his personal experience of growing up behind the Iron Curtain and his professional expertise as a scholar of U.S. diplomacy and international relations, Kralev will talk about the diplomatic achievements that helped change the world three decades ago. He will also look at their legacy and impact on the younger generations, as Europe — and the West in general — grapple with adapting to the challenges of a new century.
