AMERICAN GRAND STRATEGY AND THE WORLD

a panel discussion with

SHERLE SCHWENNINGER
Senior Fellow, World Policy Institute

and

PATRICK SMITH
former correspondent in Asia for the International Herald Tribune and the New Yorker, and author of Japan: A Reinterpretation

Moderated by

STEPHEN SCHLESINGER
Director, World Policy Institute

The revolution in American foreign policy that began with the Clinton administration and accelerated with the Bush presidency has run aground in the real world. As a result, the next president, whether Democrat or Republican, will be forced to rethink the most fundamental tenets of American grand strategy, including the emphasis on military dominance, global neo-liberal economics, and the campaign to remake the Middle East. The panelists will explore how the aftermaths of the war in Iraq, on the one hand, and the earlier Asian financial crisis, on the other, have reshaped America’s position in the world and now pose new challenges for American foreign policy.

Thursday, April 15, 2004, 6:00-7:30 p.m. Swayduck Auditorium, First Floor, 65 Fifth Avenue (between East 13-14^th). Admission is free. Visit www.dialnsa.edu for a live webcast and online discussion.
