Royal College of Music

Music thrives in an environment where norms are questioned and tradition is challenged and the Battle of Ideas programme this year offers the opportunity to talk about big ideas with leading thinkers and opinion formers.  The Royal College of Music is delighted to be involved with the 2008 Battle of Ideas and looks forward to making a contribution to this important event.

Is America still the World's Policeman?

"Anyone interested in taking the pulse of informed public debate wouldn't want to miss the Battle of Ideas. It's one of the most enjoyable forums to hear balanced but passionate arguments presented by some of the most articulate, knowledgeable and charismatic speakers in public life. A hard core workout if you're interested in society."
