John Fortier

Guest lecture about the US mid-term elections and debate with Niels Bjerre-Poulsen

Monday, November 15, 2010 - 00:00

John Fortier, America's midterm elections: what they mean for the future.

After two elections that favored Democrats and put President Barack Obama in office, the pendulum has swung back in the Republican direction. How large was the change? Why did voters favor Republicans? And what does this mean for American policy for the next two years and for the presidential election of 2012?

In a guest lecture sponsored by the US Embassy in Copenhagen, John Fortier will analyse the outcome of the midterm elections on November 2nd. John Fortier is the director of the Center for the Study of American Democracy at Kenyon College in Ohio.

Former director of the Center for the Study of the Americas, Niels Bjerre-Poulsen, currently at the University of Southern Denmark, will act as discussant.

Everybody is welcome. There is no registration.
