The English-Speaking Union International Relations Conference
Sunday 9th - Saturday 15th July 2006
Oriel College, Oxford
The ESU International Relations Conference will deal with
a variety of issues relating to both International Relations
and to Britain's international role in the world today. The
aim of the Conference is to give participants the opportunity
to expand their knowledge of Britain and to widen their outlook
on world issues. It also offers a unique opportunity to make
individual contacts with people from various fields, cultures
and backgrounds. In 2005 34 delegates attended the Conference
and they represented a total of 21 countries. The majority
of delegates were young professionals from the fields of trade
and industry, law, journalism, teaching and the diplomatic
service.
During the week four main topics will be covered: British Institutions;
International Relations; Law and Government, British Institutions
and International Trade and Industry. Each session will take
the form of a short lecture followed by a comprehensive discussion
involving all delegates. There will also be a visit to a performance
of Shakespeare.
The conference is an annual event and has taken place annually
for over 40 years. The venue has traditionally been one of
the colleges in Oxford and in 2006, as in the last thirteen
years, it will be held in Oriel.
Previous speakers have included;
Sir Andrew Burns KCMG, International Governor on the Board
of the BBC, Lord Watson of Richmond CBE, Chairman, Burson-Marsteller
Europe; Mr Edward Gould, Deputy Chairman, The English-Speaking
Union; Alan Lee Williams OBE, Director, The Atlantic Council;
