This spring, President Obama will launch the 2014 National Security Strategy. With a slowly rebounding economy and the withdrawal of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States is looking at a different landscape than it was in 2010, when the last strategy was released. This presents an opportunity to discuss a balanced vision of international affairs in which "non-kinetic" soft power is considered equal in foreign policy decision-making as traditional military-based hard power. A fully integrated smart power strategy that takes advantage of the nexus of security and development is more relevant now than ever.  Join us for a panel discussion with expert practitioners from both security and development backgrounds as they discuss ways to emphasize non-kinetic power within the 2014 National Security Strategy.
