Brazil, Russia, India, and China have been hailed as the new cultural, economic, and political powerhouses of the twenty-first century. While the global influence of the United States remains strong, aspiring or emerging powers have occasionally challenged the United States over specific issues. Economically, their share of world GDP is also likely to increase. As the BRIC countries become more active in the international arena, what role will the United States play, and how should the United States respond to the emergence of new powers?

To help answer these questions, internationally renowned experts from the Global Institutes at King’s College London are coming together for the first time to hold a joint event in New York City. We are delighted to invite you to join us for an evening of discussion and networking.

Friday, October 25, 2013 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM
At 809 United Nations Plaza | RSVP


Hosted by the Institute of International Education (IIE), New York

King’s College London Overview
Based in the heart of London, King’s College London is a research-led university and is ranked as one of the top 20 universities in the world (QS World University Rankings, 2013). The Global Institutes were created as part of the College’s international strategy to focus on understanding the present and contemplating the future. They concentrate on countries and regions that will constitute the cultural, economic, and political powerhouses of the twenty-first century. Their brief is to understand those countries that will take the lead in producing major changes in the world and using their knowledge to provoke and promote debate and exchange of information. The Global Institutes aim to help policy-makers develop a stronger appreciation of the dynamics of change, especially in the emerging economies, and foster a more nuanced awareness of mutual concerns and interests among the world’s leading economies.
