On the heels of Iran’s recent missile tests and the five-year anniversary of the Syrian War, Hudson Institute hosted a discussion on the guiding principles and effectiveness of President Obama’s Middle East strategy and how the next administration should approach the region.
Has President Obama’s overall regional strategy advanced American interests by securing a nuclear deal with Iran, for example, or has it fueled greater polarization and instability, weakening America’s standing in a critical area of the world? What has President Obama gotten right about the region, and where has he miscalculated? Should the next administration continue the Obama Doctrine? If not, what strategy and policies should replace it?
On April 7, Hudson Institute held a timely conversation on the Middle East with remarks by Senator Lindsey Graham, a prominent voice in Washington on national security, and a panel of leading experts including Robert Satloff of the Washington Institute, Amb. Eric Edelman of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, Michele Dunne of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Hudson Senior Fellow Michael Doran, who moderated the discussion.
Join Senior Fellow Dr. Rebeccah Heinrichs and Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) for a fireside discussion on how Congress can guide American strategy, the need to modernize the defense industrial base, and the vital role of allies and partners in an unstable international environment.
Join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Robert McDowell for a discussion of the book and communications law with the authors, Harold Furchtgott-Roth, Kirk Arner, and Arielle Roth.
Please join Congressman Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) and Senior Fellow Ken Moriyasu for a discussion on Central Asia’s economic and strategic significance and why updating US trade policy is key to unlocking the region’s potential in an era of renewed great power competition.
