Following Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s trip to the Middle East, this conversation will explore the key elements of a US policy agenda for a region in transition. The panel will discuss the unique opportunities offered by the current political context to promote reform and democratic governance in the region, as well as concrete steps to capitalize on them. Speakers will also address how to define broader US priorities for the region, and the key challenges faced by policymakers as they balance these priorities.
