The Meridian Society/BBCN are holding a public talk in association with the CSSA of The School of Oriental and African Studies, Imperial College and London School of Economics. The lecture talk will be delivered by Ms Jenny Clegg.
Whether a success or failure, it is generally agreed that the G20 London summit marked a turning point in international affairs – a multipolar world future is beginning to take shape. China in particular is emerging as a pivotal world player, developing a more assertive international stance. But what kind of world power will China be? Jenny Clegg will consider China’s multipolar strategy, and argue that it is an essentially peaceful power which is starting to play a greater role in the promotion of a fairer and more stable world order.
The speaker, Jenny Clegg is a Senior Lecturer in International Studies and Course Leader in Asia Pacific Studies at the University of Central Lancashire. Her specialist interest is in China. She first visited China in the 1970’s and has followed developments closely ever since. Her latest book China’s Global Strategy: Towards a Multipolar World has just been published by Pluto Press in 2009. A long-time member of the Society of Anglo-Chinese Understanding, she is also active in the peace movement in Britain.
Admission is free and tickets are not required, but you are urged to RSVP to reserve a seat.
