Video: Niall Ferguson moderated debate: 'Out of Europe? The United States in an Asian age'

Speakers: Professor Michael Cox, Professor Arne Westad
Chair: Professor Niall Ferguson

This event was recorded on 2 March 2011 in Old Theatre, Old Building Niall Ferguson argues that the world is now being shaped more by the emerging economies of the East than by the once dominant West. But within the West another kind of power shift is taking place, one that leads to the growing irrelevance of Europe. Is this true? And does it really matter?

Niall Ferguson is Philippe Roman Chair in History and International Affairs at LSE IDEAS for 2010-11.
