Coups, Cadavers, and Catastrophes: The Persian Gulf in the New Year
Tuesday, March 3, 2015
Preston
5:30 pm EST/GMT-5
The Persian Gulf region is never quiet, and the start of 2015 has been no exception: the death of the Saudi King; the collapse of the Yemeni government; the continued expansion of ISIS; and the new necessity of collaborating and negotiating with Iran, all foreshadow a year of major change, turmoil, and power shifts. 5:30 pm EST/GMT-5
Join James Clarke Chace Professor of Foreign Affairs and Humanities Walter Russell Mead, Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program (BGIA) Director Jonathan Cristol, and Assistant Professor of Middle Eastern & Historical Studies Omar Cheta for a discussion of the current/latest instability in the Persian Gulf and its impact on both American grand strategy and specific policy decisions in the region.
