At the French Institut London on 23rd April 2009 at 6.30pm.

The election of Barack Obama to the US Presidency last November engaged unprecedented interest across the globe. With a challenging agenda before them, Obama and his team have hit the ground running - but will they be able to keep up the momentum and truly achieve any or all of their ambitious objectives?

The French Institute hosts a panel discussion with the Alumni associations of Columbia, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins and Tufts. This panel discussion, with a distinguished group of academics and commentators from both sides of the Atlantic, will focus on what has been achieved in Obama’s first 100 days and will assess the probability of success for his policies related to resolving the global financial crisis, finding solutions to various foreign policy challenges, and the myriad of social and environmental issues, over the next four years.
François Bujon de l’Estang (SP 61), Chairman of Citi France, former Ambassador to the US and member of Sciences Po’s development committee, will be among the panellists. 

Participants must book now.
