Aaron Friedberg at NCCU
The department of Political Science is holding the Political Economy Colloquium with guest speaker Aaron Friedberg, Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University, former US deputy assistant for national security affairs, and all-around liberal institutionalist in a sea of realpolitik.
The topic is “A Contest for Supremacy: China, America, and the Struggle for Mastery in Asia.”
It will be held in Room 270101, General Building from 1000 to 1130 on Monday, September 24.
They say you can register here (and you need to register to get a bento box), but this registration system is incomprehensible, so drop the organizer an email (99252025@nccu.edu.tw), or easier yet, just come on the day and grab a seat.
* I just noticed, Juan already posted this …. oh well, it’s so good, it deserves two entries!
