America and four of the major states in Europe, are going through an extremely difficult patch in relations. The war in Iraq has torn asunder the traditional ties between the United States and its historic allies like France, Germany and Belgium, as well as its new found-friendship with Russia. What now are the consequences likely to be for the Atlantic alliance - especially NATO? Can the United Nations Security Council survive this rupture? Does the split portend difficulties for the World Trade Organization? Does globalization face new strains? Is a half-century-long congregation of Western democracies now at an end? Or is it possible that the war in Iraq will be treated as an isolated incident rather than a historic turning point? These issues and related ones will be the subject of the panel discussion.

Thursday, April 24, 2003, 6:00-7:30 p.m. Swayduck Auditorium, First Floor, 65 Fifth Avenue (between East 13-14th). Admission is free.

RSVP 212-229-5808 ext. 4272 to reserve seating or e-mail: wpi@newschool.edu if you need special accommodations, please call at least five days in advance.
