Today’s International Scene
The United
Nations Association of New York sponsored
another popular event at midtown’s Columbia
University Club. With the European debt
crisis dominating world headlines it is no
wonder so many people were interested in
this panel discussion titled:
The Ambassador Series |
Special Edition:
The European Union as Actor in International
Affairs.
Hosting the
event was the Executive Director of the
United Nations Association of NY Ms. Ann
Nicole and Mark L. Amsterdam, President of the Columbia
University Club.
As
with a house with many rooms, the European
Union’s internal policy decision-making
process is often misunderstood. Even more
perplexing is how the European Union’s
foreign policy is determined. The evening's
special panel discussion and debate featured
a select group of distinguished ambassadors
to explore the European crisis.
The
following are some issues and questions
explored during
the evening’s discussion:
What is the EU External Action Service?
-
How does the
European Union
engage with the
United Nations and
how does the EU
manage its external
relations?
- How do other
countries interact
at the UN and with
the European Union?
- How do
powerhouses, such as
India and Mexico,
appraise the
European Union's
actions on the
international stage?
- Both the
economic and euro
crisis has impacted
decision making in
Europe, but what of
their impact on the
EU's external
relations?
The audience was
treated to a
wide range of
international
views on the
current status
of the European
Union and the
future of
Europe. There
was a lively and
interesting
interaction
between the
panelists.
Following this
forum, there was
a reception that
allowed all
attendees to
discuss these
international
issues
in more detail.
