 Great Decisions Luncheon

China in Africa:
Savior or self-interest?


Hosted by Clifford and Susan Gilpin
of Falmouth

Saturday, April 13, 2013

Lunch and Discussion 12-2:30 PM

What interests govern China’s engagement in Africa? Should China’s growing emphasis on political ties and natural resource extraction inform U.S. relations with African nations?

The lunch will be hosted by Council President Clifford Gilpin. He worked and traveled extensively in Indonesia for the World Bank in the 1980s and early 1990s and managed the Bank's work in education, health and population during that period.

Facilitated by Clifford Gilpin

Clifford Gilpin has a professional background in education planning and human resources. During his career at the World Bank he traveled frequently to Indonesia and managed the Bank's work in education, health and population there from 1987 to 1992.


This is a special event for members.
Reservations are limited.
