Jonathan D. Pollack, Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution
Venue: Madison
Tuesday, May 28th
12:00 p.m.
Washington is winding down the war in Afghanistan and shifting its focus towards Asia in a widely-reported “pivot” or strategic “rebalancing” of forces. What does this mean for China, North Korea, the South and East China seas and the rest of the region? What are the major areas of contention in the region? Is the United States trying to engage or ‘contain’ Beijing, and has China altered the equation with its own behavior?
Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Jonathan Pollack will tackle these questions from a diplomatic, military and security perspective and provide a picture of what the future might look like under Presidents Obama and Xi Jinping. Q&A will follow.
