A key country between Europe and Asia, Turkey has been ruled by Recep Tayyip Erdogan for more than 20 years. 

Domestically, despite the 2022 agreement with the PKK, the situation remains complex with the Kurds and, more generally, with ethnic and religious minorities, and the rule of law is increasingly under threat, as judges and journalists observe on a daily basis. 
In its traditional sphere of influence in the Balkans, the Caucasus and the Middle East, Turkey is developing a suspicious imperialism, the latest developments of which in Syria are more than worrying.
Finally, as NATO's second largest army after the United States, Turkey wishes to develop an ambitious diplomatic role on the world stage, which often requires it to overcome numerous contradictions.
On 9 February at 6.30 pm, LIBG will host a webinar on this country, which is essential not only for international security and for the respect of human rights but also for its ability to truly embody a bridge between East and West.

The panellists will be:

Baroness Meral Hussein-Ece, member of the Lords
Bülent Kenes, Turkish journalist, Executive Director of the European Centre for Populism Studies
Sir Graham Watson, Chair of LIBG, professor at Toronto University

The debate will be moderated by Antoine Godbert, member of the LIBG executive, and  professor of geopolitics at ESCP Business School.

Join us for a chat over a drink. Non-alcoholic options are available. This event is open to everyone - you don't need to be a member, we'd love to see you!

 As the internet becomes increasingly fragmented and elections grow more complex, it’s more important than ever to connect with the right people in the right places. Find Your Voters explains how.

Join us from 7:30 for drinks at the Red Lion in Swanley Village. It's a great chance to catch up, welcome new faces, and keep the momentum going.

The price of freedom - would you invest in Britain’s security?

In the grim dark present day, Trump's threats range from simply not defending NATO to actively threatening Denmark and its territory, Greenland. Russia is having a "hot war" on our doorstep while arguably fighting a "hybrid war" against us and our allies. 

In light of this, the Lib Dems have now announced a policy for "Defence Bonds", raising up to £20 billion to boost funding for our armed forces and other security services.

Sometimes known as war bonds, this is a traditional way of funding the armed forces and defence initiatives going back to the Napoleonic Wars.

In our session, we will look at the state of our armed forces (grim!) and the legacy of years and years of Conservative rule. We will consider the need for investment to keep us safe from Russia, cyber attacks, and aggressive "allies" like Trump. And we will consider this new policy and ask, would you invest your savings in the 'defence of the nation'? Or do you think that a country where "everything is broken" should have different priorities right now?
