Bringing
the concepts of liberty in the former communist countries has always been the
goal of IES. This year we advanced even further east and organize, in
cooperation with the New Economic School as local partner and the The Friedrich Naumann Stiftung as co-sponsor, the first IES Europe
& Liberty seminar in Bakuriani, Georgia (July 7-13) .
The seminar
attracted students from Eastern Europe who usually don’t join seminars
organized further West. The Friedrich Naumann Stiftung was co-sponsoring this
seminar in Georgia.
This year’s faculty in Bakuriani included : Boudewijn Bouckaert(Law), Colin Ganley (History), Pierre Garello (Economics), James Taylor (Philosophy)
Students present at the seminarhad also
the opportunity of meeting and attending lectures by the New Economic School in
Georgia, our local partner.
