Roundtable Cultural Seminars: Leadership and Diplomacy
This Seminar will explore six international events in the 20th century, where U.S. or European leaders had to make a choice between diplomacy or conflict. We will examine these instances to draw lessons as to what conditions might make diplomacy a preferable option. The last 10-15 minutes of each session will discuss contemporary events. Video will be used.
