Sir Malcolm Rifkind

Sir Malcolm Rifkind will be addressing members on "The Decline of the West?" Through the course of a speech and active audience engagement, he will be exploring global power dynamics and re-assess the meaning and significance of "The West". He is open to answering questions on all aspects of foreign policy and international affairs, and would gladly sign any copies of his numerous, critically-acclaimed books.

Sir Malcolm's lengthy ministerial career boasts varied and highly distinguished offices, from Defence to Foreign Secretary. Though having been involved in major historical events - including the Thatcher-Gorbachev summit - he also has his finger on the pulse of current issues especially those European, as recognised by his 2015 appointment to the Eminent Persons Panel on European Security. His book, Power and Pragmatism, is fast becoming required reading amongst those studying the intricacies of the Cold War and its impact on Poland.
