DC EVENT:
France and Europe after the terrorist attacks
WHEN: Monday, November 23 (2:30-4:00pm)
WHERE: Brookings Institution, Falk Auditorium
DESCRIPTION: Ten months after the terrorist attacks
against Charlie Hebdo and a Kosher supermarket, Paris has been hit savagely
again, with 130 people dead and hundreds more injured. This time, the
terrorists did not take aim at a satirical newspaper, but rather targeted
France’s youth as they were unwinding at a concert, soccer match, restaurants,
and bars. It has been decades since France encountered such devastating
violence. Why is the country now a prime target of terrorism? How does the
attack relate to French foreign policy in the Middle East? What are the
consequences for politics and society on both sides of the Atlantic? How should
the international community respond?
To discuss France, Europe, and the aftershocks of terrorism,
the Center on the United States and Europe (CUSE) at Brookings will convene a
panel of experts on November 23, on the eve of French President Hollande's
visit to Washington. Speakers will be Philippe Le Corre and Kemal Kirişci of
CUSE, Joseph Bahout of the Carnegie Endowment, and Laure Mandeville of Le
Figaro. Brookings Fellow Jeremy Shapiro will provide introductory remarks and
moderate the discussion.
After the opening presentations, panelists will take
questions from the audience.
