CAPITOL HILL WORKSHOPS:
Conflict, Cooperation and U.S. National Interests
March 9-11, 2010- September 14-16, 2010
At a time when global recession has prompted demands for new regulatory regimes both at home and abroad, the 111th Congress is taking on the most ambitious social and economic agenda in recent history. From health care and energy, to education and the environment, the Legislative Branch has embarked on a course of change that could dramatically alter the role of government.
Meanwhile, our ongoing involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the ambitious and often violent aspirations of an array of states from the Middle East to Latin America continue to complicate U.S. domestic and foreign policy. How will Congress respond and finance this assortment of challenges? Additionally, how will that response reshape America's definition of itself?
WHITE HOUSE WORKSHOPS:
Continuity and Transformation in an Age of Turmoil
- June 8-10, 2010
- September 21-23, 2010
The President has outlined three principal elements in his domestic agenda: education, energy and health care reform. Each is contentious and involves substantial direct or indirect costs. Overshadowing all three is a lingering global economic recession, fear of inflation, the growth of entitlements, and a record-setting national debt.
His foreign policy agenda includes the expanding war in Afghanistan and troop withdrawal from Iraq, the re-emergence of Russia as a regional and international power, trade and debt issues with China, not to mention the threat of terrorism almost everywhere in the world.
