Foreign Affairs LIVE: State Building in Theory & Practice: Making U.S. Foreign Policy Decisions in Weak States
Foreign Affairs LIVE – March 9, 2010
Every U.S. entry into a sovereign nation, whether an invasion, occupation, full military conflict, or humanitarian intervention, has unpredictable outcomes that require contingency planning. Under what conditions should the United States include state building in its contingency toolkit? Can the United States sustain a commitment to the troops, money, and resources required by state building? Can state building fight terrorism while still protecting the right of sovereignty?
On March 9 at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, this special installment of Foreign Affairs LIVE <http://www.youtube.com/user/ForeignAffairsMag> will bring together the foremost experts on this topic for an hour-and-a-half-long discussion and Q&A. We will be inviting the audience to participate in the debate with interactive polling on a set of questions about state building policy.
