Vince Cable, though new into his job, has hit the ground running in terms of attracting the headlines. 

By not attending a dinner held in honor of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia he has muscled his way into one of the major stories of the day ('A dubious ally who devalues our Government' The Independent). 

We at CentreForum are hoping that the Acting Leader of the Liberal Democrats will also be able to catapult our own story into the headlines tomorrow.  We are launching our latest book, 'Globalisation: a liberal response' to which Cable contributed and will help introduce.

The book includes chapters by James Cameron on environment, Philippe Sands on international law, Philippe Legrain on immigration and Anatol Lieven on security.

Tomorrow's event will also feature Sir Samuel Brittan who alongside Cable will debate liberal responses to a globalising world economy.

For more details go to the forthcoming events section of the CentreForum website.
