One year before the presidential elections: the American political situation
Practical information
Luncheon debatte dedicated to Ifri's corporate members, by invitation only.
While the campaign for the republican primaries continues -opposing several radical conservative with ties to the Tea parties to the more centrist and uncharismatic Mormon Mitt Romney-, President Obama is starting his own campaign on a more resolute tone -at last- focusing on his new jobs plan.

One year before the presidential elections, the outcome remains very open. Dr. Laurence nardon, Head of the U.S. Program at Ifri, analyses and comments on the different issues.
