"Legacy of the Cold War" - Second Debate Organised by the European Civilisation Chair with Prof. Jussi HANHIMAKI and Prof. Glenda SLUGA

A partir de 14:00 till 16:00
Auditorium Skłodowska-Curie
Natolin (Warsaw) Campus

The European Civilisation Chair at the College of Europe in Natolin had the pleasure of inviting Natolin students to participate in the second debate dedicated to the legacy of the Cold War.

The debate - with the interventions of Professor Jussi HANHIMAKI and Professor Glenda SLUGA - examined to what extent the end of the Cold War began a real reunification of Europe. The discussion further focused on new problems growing out of the end of the Cold War that dominated the formation of the post-Cold War order in Europe and the world.

The debate was chaired by Professor Marek CICHOCKI.
