World in Crisis: national security priorities for the next administration

On September 12, I traveled with my colleague Michael Brendan Dougherty to Washington, D.C., for a broad discussion and debate focused on some of the thorniest challenges the United States faces abroad: “World in Crisis: National Security Priorities for the Next Administration.”

Michael was joined by Dan Caldwell, from the think tank Defense Priorities, on “Team Restraint.” John Callahan, an adjunct professor with the Institute of World Politics, joined me on “Team Energetic Foreign Policy.” Both Michael and I are grateful to the Institute of World Politics and National Review Institute for hosting this event and to the Lafayette Company for helping to put it together.
