Global economy at Drexel forum
John Bruton, European Union ambassador to the United States, discussed the importance of the EU in the global economy at an event hosted by the Pennoni Honors College in the Anthony Drexel Picture Gallery, May 31. Bruton served as the prime minister of Ireland from 1994 to 1997 and helped restructure the country's economy into one of the strongest in the world. He also helped finalize the Stability and Growth Pact, which governs the management of the Euro. Before becoming ambassador in 2004, Bruton was a leading member of the caucus that drafted the European Constitution, which will soon be ratified.
