Tony Gardner’s new book, Stars with Stripes, provides careful analysis of US-EU diplomatic collaboration across global politics and makes a compelling case for the critical importance of continued collaboration in a turbulent world.

Gardner draws on his own experiences to show how the United States and the European Union work together, how their foreign policy tools are complementary, and why regional and global stability depends on their continued joint leadership.

Although there certainly are areas of friction, he shows how their interests are aligned on most issues, taking a close look at their collaboration on trade, data privacy, the digital economy, sanctions, energy security, law enforcement, military and security issues, climate change and the environment, as well as foreign aid and humanitarian assistance.

Join us, in conjunction with Intelligence Squared, to hear Thomas Piketty in conversation with Oxford economist Linda Yueh.

Piketty caused a sensation in early 2014 with his book Capital in the Twenty-First Century, which sparked a global debate about inequality and contributed to a revived wave of interest in socialism across the world. Now he is back with an audacious follow-up, Capital and Ideology, in which he urges us to radically reappraise everything we think we know about politics, ideology, and history.
