            The events of September 11, 2001 immediately placed a new global conscience on the plague of terrorism.  In the two years since, U.S. and world leaders have shifted foreign policies and their style of diplomacy to meet the demands of a new era.  These actions have had a major impact on nearly every nation and international organization.  Three distinguished social scientists will examine key ongoing issues in the world community and discuss how they can possibly be resolved and what the implications are for U.S. foreign policy.
