UK conference assesses Bush's legacy
On Monday an international conference organized by the Eccles Centre for American Studies at the British Library and the Institute for the Study of the Americas, University of London, explored George Bush’s legacy and the significance of his Presidency.
The Right Man? Assessing the Legacy of George W. Bush covered Bush and the Institutions of American Government; Ideology and Ideas in the Bush Presidency; Bush Foreign Policy Legacy; and Ranking the Bush Presidency.
Yet, surprisingly, it was virtually an all-British affair: apart from the plenary address given by Andrew Rudalevige and closing electoral analysis by Larry Sabato each participant was British and teaches in the UK.
The United States Presidency Centre will publish under the Institute for the Study of the Americas an imprint edited collection of essays that are based on the conference proceedings in 2010. Given the quality of papers presented and differing conclusions reached the book is sure to be eagerly awaited.
