This event has reached capacity and we are no longer accepting RSVPs.
On Tuesday, November 26, 2013, from 12:15 pm to 1:45 pm, the Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Center for a Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½n Security will host an in-depth discussion on the foreign policy challenges faced by the Obama administration in its second term. With a politically turbulent Middle East, a financially teetering EU, and an increasingly technologically competitive Asia-Pacific region, Obama and his administration will face critical foreign policy decisions in the second half of his final term.
This event continues a unique collaboration among these institutions in the presidential campaign season, “Election 2012: The National Security Agenda.” Past conversations covered the U.S. role in the world, policy in East Asia, and the national security budget.
Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ the Series:

This event is the eighth in a series of campaign-season seminars on the critical issues of U.S. foreign and defense policy, hosted by AEI, the Center for a Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½n Security and the Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ Foundation.
