Name:
(Cody) Future of American Foreign Relations ? Challenges and Prospects Lecture
Date:
September 12, 2012
Time:
5:30 PM - 7:30 PM MDT
Event Description:
Join us for the University of Wyoming Global & International Studies Lecture Series:
The American foreign policy agenda under President Barack Obama promised a new era of multilateralism and partnership with the global community. In practice, the president’s leadership has faced new tests such as changes across the Middle East resulting from the Arab Spring and the Eurozone crisis, as well as the ongoing challenges of Afghanistan, Iran, and states such as Russia and China. Domestically, his agenda has been complicated by a stagnant economy and a politically divided Congress and electorate. Nearing the end of President Obama’s first term in office, we now can better evaluate his foreign policy record and agenda for ‘change’, particularly as he compares to other recent presidents such as President George W. Bush.
This distinguished panel of experts will discuss continuity and change in American foreign relations and discuss the opportunities in, and limitations of, U.S. foreign policy as we assess what is in store for the future of American foreign relations.
Panel:
Dr. Stephen Krasner, Stanford University
Dr. Tanja A. Börzel, Freie Universität Berlin
Dr. Thomas Risse, Freie Universität Berlin
Dr. Jean A. Garrison, University of Wyoming
