69th Program Year – Eleventh Meeting

The Program: “The Year of Living Dangerously? Asia in 2018”
After several decades of peace and rapid economic development, Asia now faces security and economic challenges. Following the Singapore summit, can a lasting peace and possible reunification come to the Korean peninsula? Will China pursue a more assertive policy in the region including its claims to the South China Sea? Will China alone shape the economic future of the region following our withdrawal from the TPP? This session will focus on current security issues, political developments and economic trends in Asia and their implications for US Foreign Policy.
