Lecture Announcement
> "The world at a crossroads: rethinking development and democracy"
>
> Manfred Bienefeld, professor of economics, School of Public
Administration, Carleton University
>
> Thursday May 20, New Theater, LSE, London
> 6-7:30pm
>
> Bienefeld will argue that the US/UK intervention in the Middle East
has brought the global
> economy to the brink of a precipice. The neoliberal international
system
> that emerged from the ashes of the original Bretton Woods system in
1973, is
> now stretched to breaking point economically, politically,
ideologically and
> even militarily. A dramatic resolution of the resulting
contradictions now
> seems inevitable and it is likely to bring the nation state back to
centre
> stage. But in what form? And with what consequences for development,
and
> for democracy?
>
> Chair: Robert Wade, professor of political economy, London School of
Economics & Political Science
