Cosmopolitanism: The end of Nation States and World Government?
In our final talk of the year we welcome Steven Davies from the IHS to Warwick to talk to us about Cosmopolitanism and arguments against the Nation State and World Government tonight (Wednesday) at 6.30pm.
In an increasingly interconnected world, perhaps emphasised at Warwick by the multiculturalism we can see on campus, are old-fashioned notions of the Nation State still applicable? Has economic globalisation made redundant the role Government as a whole? Steven Davies will use his extensive knowledge of the history of economics and politics to argue his case. The event is free for all to attend and will last no longer than an hour and a half including Q&As. Hope to see you there.
When: Wed wk9, 6.30pm
Where: SO.09 (Social studies)

This Thursday we are looking forward to welcoming the National Coordinator of NO2ID, Phil Booth, to talk to us about the Government’s proposals to introduce ID cards and the national database.
ID cards are already being rolled out, with international students being forced to have them, money wasted on advertising them online (you’ve probably seen them advertised on Facebook) and new passport holders forced to join the National Identity Register.
I hope you can join us for the event and learn more about the way in which the database state will dramatically reduce our liberties!
WHEN: Thursday, 04 March 2010. 6.30pm till 8pm
WHERE: Ramphal, R0.03/4
The event is totally FREE for all to attend and followed by an informal social to Warwick’s Real Ale Festival! For more details, see the Facebook event.
We have another talk planned for you lucky people this week! Bill O’Brian from Warwick’s Law School has agreed to talk to us about a theory of property in land.
He is a left-libertarian and will be presenting a paper in which he derives a land value tax from the Harm Principle and will also be talking about the theory of freedom which underpins it.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A and is free for all to attend! Hope to see you there.
DATE & TIME: Thurs 25th of
VENUE: B2.04/05 (science concourse, across the bridge)

Thanks to everyone who came to the Pirate Party event – it was our biggest event yet and a fascinating talk from Andrew Robinson… but the term’s events don’t stop there.
We’ve still got talks from NO2ID, The Taxpayer’s Alliance and the Institute for Humane studies planned (as well as another secret extra talk in the pipeline, shh!).
Finally, we’ve got to have an exec election soon! So we will likely do this soon followed by a night out on the town. Watch this space and make sure you’re either in our Facebook group or on our email list to get further details.
Hope to see you there. The facebook event is here.
