David Priestland presents "The Red Flag"
Del 22/10/2009 al 22/10/2009; LSE, Hong Kong Theatre, Clement House (London) (Reino Unido).
LSE public lecture
Date: Thursday 22 October 2009
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: Hong Kong Theatre, Clement House
Speaker: Dr David Priestland
Chair: Dr Vesselin Dimitrov
Communism was one of the most powerful political and intellectual movements of the modern world, and its collapse in 1989 had an enormous impact on our views of international affairs and economics. David Priestland argues that we have found it difficult to understand Communism, and the lessons we have learnt have contributed to many recent policy failures, from the 'War on Terror' to extreme neo-liberal economic policies. He revisits the history of Communism, explaining the reasons for its rise and fall, and argues that we need to learn a new set of lessons if we are to avoid the mistakes of the past.
David Priestland has studied Communism in all its forms for many years, in both Oxford and Moscow State Universities. He is University Lecturer in Modern History at Oxford and a Fellow of St Edmund Hall, and the author of Stalinism and the Politics of Mobilization. His latest book is The Red Flag: Communism and the making of the modern world|.
