This seminar will address strategic concerns of mutual interest to the nations of the region and the U.S. It will explore emerging issues of regional impact, opportunities for multilateral cooperation, strategic threats, and the implications of long term global challenges in the region. More specifically, the seminar will concentrate on the concerns of the region against a broader background of current and future security challenges, on U.S. government policy, the challenges of international interdependence, and common approaches to regional, political, and economic developments.

The NESA Center WILL host two Executive Seminars:
12 – 29 October 2010
1 – 18 March 2011

The purpose of NESA Center seminars is to encourage informal and constructive dialogue among national security professionals of differing backgrounds and perspectives with the goal of generating ideas and suggestions for cooperative problem solving. To that end, all discussions within the seminars are unofficial in nature, strictly off the record and not for attribution.

The NESA Center does not take a stand on regional issues. Our purpose is to promote dialogue, not a specific agenda. Opinions stated by faculty and speakers are their own and do not represent NESA.

NESA Center does not invite individuals. Invitations are issued to ministries through the US Embassy. Prospective participants should contact their points of contact for selection criteria.
