On October 4, 2019, the Faculty of Political Sciences and International Relations at the University of Warsaw and the Jan Karski Foundation are organizing the conference ‘The Great Power and Poland 1919-2019 in Warsaw. 100 years of Polish-American relations. “

The event will consist of two thematic panels.
The aim of the panel “Transatlantic relations: a community of values and interests” is to assess the condition of the transatlantic community that appeared in the last years of World War II and has faced external threats, coped with differences and internal tensions. What are the challenges facing them today? What factors threaten its coherence and what do they serve for?

The second panel “Atlantic Community in the world of power politics” will be devoted to the liberal international order that the Atlantic community formed. Currently, this order is going through a crisis and maybe even twilight. Is this an irreversible process? Does the return of power politics serve the US and Europe?

The conference’s speakers will include: Daniel Fried, former US ambassador to Poland, Stephen D. Mull – Vice Rector for International Cooperation at the University of Virginia and James P. Seevers – Director of Studies and the Georgetown Leadership Seminar program at the Institute of Diplomacy Studies at the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in Washington.
