It's below. In bold are ones that you'll be well placed to speak on (and we'll provide short sharp bullets and background). In italics are one where you should have something to say, but perhaps not as extensively (again, will provide thoughts). Underlined are areas worth attention in preparation for Istanbul. 1. The European Political Landscape 2. The politics and geo-politics of energy 3. What does Putin 2.0 mean? 4. China's economic and political outlook 5. Is vigorous economic growth attainable? 6. Imbalances, Austerity and Growth 7. The future of democracy in the developed world 8. How do sovereign states collaborate in cyber space? 9. Stability and instability in the Middle East 10. The State of Trans-Atlantic Relations EFTA_R1_00849201 EFTA02168974 11. The US Political Landscape 12. A conversation on US foreign policy 13. What can the West do about Iran? 14.
