| International lawyer and member of the Paris and New York bars, Laurent Cohen-Tanugi specialized in trans-national mergers and acquisitions and international arbitration. He holds a degree from the Ecole normale supérieure and the Institut d’études politiques de Paris. He also has a degree in French language and literature and is a graduate of both Paris and Harvard Law Schools. He is the author of numerous works, including Le Droit sans l’Etat, a comparative essay on French and American political and legal traditions, and l’Europe en danger, a work which predicted the current political crisis in Europe. |
|
| In October 2007, the French government asked him to conduct a study on the future of the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Employment in the European Union. This mission led to the publication of a report entitled Beyond Lisbon: A European Strategy for Globalization. |
|
| This evening Mr. Cohen-Tanugi will speak about the election of Barack Obama and how Europeans have reacted. President Obama seems to Europeans to be not only the antithesis of George W. Bush, but also closer to European values and sensibilities in the international realm. Is this myth or reality? What will Barack Obama’s foreign policy be like? How will the trans-Atlantic relationship evolve? Is the new American really more in step with Europe? These are some of the questions Mr. Cohen-Tanugi will address. |

| This lecture is organized by la Délégation générale de l’Alliance Française aux Etats-Unis, with the support of la Radio des cinq académies de l’Institut de France. |
