BUDAPEST TO HOST INTL GEOPOLITICAL CONFERENCE IN SEPT

 

The Danube Institute and The Heritage Foundation will host their fourth international geopolitical conference in Budapest on Sept 17-18, the institute said. The conference, focusing on an emerging new world order, will feature lecturers including Indian politician and journalist Swapan Dasgupta, former Polish MEP Ryszard Legutko, James Carafano, chief advisor to the president of Washington’s The Heritage Foundation, former Australian PM Tony Abbott, and former British diplomat Lord David Frost. The lectures will focus on chances for the left and the right wing to dominate the near future, the role of states and corporations, and on “who will set the rules of the game in a multipolar world”, the institute said. The conference will also touch upon possible energy strategies as well as various “narratives for peace and justice” with regard to escalating global conflicts, as well as NATO’s role in the global power structure, it said in a statement.
