Society for Contemporary Studies KOSMOS-POLIS, partner of MCH Network, organizes the international conference on “New American Leadership”, which will be held from July 3-4, 2017 with participation of the experts in international relations and USA politics.
DESCRIPTION
Presidential elections in the USA arouse a very interesting and meaningful global policy debate.
At the beginning, international issues were not considered as strong points of Donald Trump’s election campaign. Now when he has become president of the USA, it is necessary to keep in mind that the execution of his foreign policy program may lead to a total transformation of the global system.
During the course, we analyze how the American political system works in order to a better understanding of what impact may produce the new presidency of Donald Trump on key political issues in Spain and in the world.
The school will be hosted by UCAM – Catholic University of Murcia (in the Campus of los Jerónimos– it is Hieronymites Monastery, National Historic-Artistic Monument since 1981).
Closing conference will be held in the Royal Casino of Murcia, one of the most beautiful and emblematic buildings of the city, and pronounced by Stanley George Payne (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_G._Payne)
