(Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School Dean Anne-Marie Slaughter)
More than 400 academics, policy practitioners and journalists over two and a half years have contributed to a large-scale project, the Princeton Project on National Security.
The project was co-chaired by former Secretary of State George Shultz and former National Security Advisor Anthony Lake. Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs Dean Anne-Marie Slaughter and Woodrow Wilson School Professor G. John Ikenberry co-directed the effort.
David Rubenstein of the Carlyle Group and the Ford Foundation funded it.
Yesterday evening, the New America Foundation hosted a fascinating exchange, pretty feisty in fact, at one of our popular dinner salons — and today is the conference to punctuate release of the final report.
For those of you wandering by the Senate Dirksen building today, we will be in Dirksen Room 106 in the Senate. I will be MC’ing the entirety of the program.
Here is the schedule:
The Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs
