FORMAT:Fall 2004 Study Group Series, registration required
SPONSOR:World Affairs Council, Institute of East Asian Studies

This program series highlights the leadership responsibilities that will fall to the newly elected president of the United States, particularly following the 9/11 events and their consequences. Many of the issues raised by speakers in this series touch upon East Asia in profound ways, including the North Korean nuclear threat, mobilizing multilateral support to resolve the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, countering Mid-East instability and growing terrorism. At the same time, the newly elected president and Congress must deal with an increasingly globalized economy under the World Trade Organization, strengthen Asian security arrangements and aid developing nations in matters relating to health and poverty. Overshadowing all this is the need for leadership in confronting the threat of global warming. The speakers in this series will offer their views on these issues and suggest potential solutions to major problems.
