DOUG SAUNDERS, Globe & Mail.

Presented by CIPS.
Free. In English. Registration is not required.

Doug Saunders is a Canadian-British author and journalist. He is the author of the book Arrival City: The Final Migration and Our Next World (2011) and the London-based European bureau chief for The Globe and Mail. He writes a weekly column devoted to the larger themes and intellectual concepts behind international news. He has won the National Newspaper Award on four occasions.

With his most recent book, The Myth of the Muslim Tide: Do Immigrants Threaten the West?, he intends to debunk the myth that immigrants from Muslim countries are wildly different and pose a threat to the West. Drawing on demographic, statistical, scholarly and historical documentation, the book examines the real lives and circumstances of Muslim immigrants in the West: their politics, their beliefs, their observances and their degrees of assimilation.
