The International Symposium on Cultural Diplomacy in
the USA 2011
“The Roles and Responsibilities
of the US and Europe in a Changing World Order and Digital Revolution:
Evaluating the Political, Economic, and Cultural Dimensions”
(Washington,
D.C., 18th-21st May 2011)
http://www.icd-international-symposium-usa.org
The 2011 conference will focus on the theme
“The Roles and Responsibilities of the US and Europe in the New Global
Community”. The theme was selected in recognition of two significant
developments in the field of international relations. Firstly: The development
of a new global community with new players, both at the sub-state and
inter-state level, and new forms of influence and power. Secondly, the emergence
of new, global challenges: The developments in the Arab World, Climate
change disasters, financial instability, terrorism, and the prevention of
health pandemics, are all areas of activity that require the community to build
sustainable, multilateral approaches.
In recognition of these developments, there is a demonstrable need to analyze
and reflect on the activity of the US and Europe within this new context, and
in addressing these new challenges. The conference will therefore begin with an
assessment of the new global community: How has it been formed, how does it
operate, and what changes are we likely see in the future. Following this, the
focus will move to a consideration of the key challenges facing the global
community today, from climate change and natural disasters to cultural
differences. Finally, the program will build on these discussions to reflect on
the positions of the US and Europe in this changing international environment
and: What do their international partners expect of the US and Europe, and how
can they forge stronger relations with countries in all regions to ensure the
cooperation necessary to tackle the challenges ahead?
