Many Americans believe that the United States should support freedom and democracy wherever possible in world affairs. Since the late 2000s, American foreign policy has taken a realist turn, as U.S. support for freedom and democracy can reinforce American national security objectives in the emerging world order. Join for a discussion with Dr. Twining about how these policies and principles affect recent and current events in Venezuela, Iran, Ukraine, and U.S.-China relations.
Daniel Twining joined the International Republican Institute as President in 2017. He leads IRI’s team of over 800 global experts to link citizens and governments, motivate people to engage in the political process, and guide politicians and government officials to be responsive to citizens. Previously, he has worked in an advising capacity for the State Department, USAID, and the U.S. National Intelligence Council, among others.
This seminar will be held in E40-496 (Pye Room). Lunch will be available. Please RSVP here.
