Lazar says Europe divided by wealth
By Andrew Weinberg | February 18, 1994Arpad von Lazar, professor of international politics at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, said it is more accurate to divide Europe into rich and poor, rather than east and west, in a lecture held Wednesday. More than 30 people attended von Lazar's lecture titled, "Aging Europe - Emerging Europe: Politics and Business in the Mid-Nineties" in the General Motors Amphitheater at the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration. Von Lazar spoke about the recent economic problems in Europe and the inherent complications Europe will face in searching for a solution to these problems. Although the speech dealt with complex economic and political issues, von Lazar injected humor and personal anecdotes into his lecture, eliciting many laughs and applause from the audience. "He says it in a way that makes it lively and interesting," said Penny Paquette, director of the International University of Japan program office.
