Event:
Chris Patten, one of Europe's most distinguished statesmen, argues
that America's status as the only superpower must be reined in, but
he also warns Europe against too ardently challenging U.S.
leadership. Drawing on more than three decades of experience in
government and international diplomacy, Chris Patten investigates the
relationships among Britain, Europe, and America and how all three
must adapt to cope with the economic and political challenges of the
twenty-first century.
