The 40th anniversary of the “Verein der Freunde der London School of Economics and Political Science e.V.” (German Friends of LSE) was celebrated in October. The anniversary event, which took place from October 18 to 20, brought together alumni, friends and supporters of the renowned London School of Economics (LSE) for a weekend of discussion, exchange and celebration.
The central day of the program took place on Saturday in our plenary hall, offering a wonderful combination of intellectual exchange and exceptional ambience.
After a warm welcome, the program began with a lecture by Professor Dr. Sönke Neitzel, Chair of Military History at the University of Potsdam. Under the title “Ready for war? Remarks on the ‚Turning Point‘”, he analyzed the impact of the war in Ukraine on German and European security policy.
After an exclusive architectural tour of AXICA by our colleague Nadine and a coffee break, the focus was on the panel discussion chaired by Professor Michael Cox, Founding Director of LSE IDEAS and Emeritus Professor of International Relations at LSE. The topic “Rethinking the Transatlantic Relationship After Trump” addressed current geopolitical developments and the future of transatlantic relations.
