Remembering Margaret Thatcher
On this episode we look back at the life, times, and legacy of “The Iron Lady,” Britain’s former Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. Our guest, Michael Geary, is a European Studies Fellow at the Wilson Center. He is also Lecturer and Assistant Professor at Maastricht University in The Netherlands where his teaching and research focuses on Modern Europe and the European Union. Latin American Program Director Cynthia Arnson provides context on the surprisingly close Venezuelan presidential election and thoughts on the Chavismo Movement post-Chavez.

Global Europe Program
The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe” – an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
