Summer Symposium - Washington D.C.
July 31-August 11, 2011

Welcome to the 31st edition of the Summer Symposium on US Foreign Policy!

Washington DCAs in the past, Symposium participants from around the globe will gather in Washington, DC to discuss hot topics and meet newsmakers of the International Politics.

How is the Obama Administration faring in the second half of its term? What are the implications for the turmoil and developments in the Middle East?  How significant is the death of Osama bin Laden for the broader war on terrorism? What are the prospects for cooperation or division for rising China?

Come to Washington this summer to hear what the experts think
and to lend your own voice to the debates!

 

The Symposium features presentations and discussions on current critical issues in U.S. foreign policy, such as:

  • Arms Control Diplomacy
  • The Middle East
  • U.S.-Iranian Relations
  • International Economic Policy
  • U.S. Intelligence
  • U.S.-Pakistani Relations
  • China, East Asia and Foreign Policy issues in the New Era

  • Visits and presentations at the principal U.S. Government agencies involved in foreign policy (State Department, Pentagon, the National Security Council, and the CIA)
  • Discussion sessions at foreign embassies (China, India, Israel, Iraq, Egypt, and Pakistan)
