An insightful panel of experts bring their different perspectives to the table for a timely and thoughtful conversation about the role of the United States in the world as well as its relationship to countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, North Korea, and Israel. Have actions under the Bush administration created a more or a less stable world? Where will steps already taken by the President in these last three years ultimately lead the country? What will be the impact on our neighbors and other nations across the globe? Panelists include Mickey Edwards, lecturer in legislative politics at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and former member of Congress for 16 years, as well as chair of the House Republican Policy Committee; Elaine Hagopian, a specialist in Middle East issues and professor emerita of sociology at Simmons College; and Jeffrey Taliaferro, assistant professor of political science at Tufts University and author of the book Balancing Risks: Great Power Intervention in the Periphery. The Honorable Barbara McDougall, president and CEO of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs and former member of the Canadian Parliament for nine years, moderates this discussion.
