Transforming U.S. Policy for a New Middle East

Thu. May 12th, 2016
Washington, DC

Carnegie hosted a discussion of Chas W. Freeman, Jr.’s new book America’s Continuing Misadventures in the Middle East and the policy implications for the United States’ many recent military and diplomatic trials in the Middle East.

The discussion centered on the complex consequences of U.S. policy in light of the Arab Spring, the increasing roles played in the region by China and other emerging powers, and the simmering Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
