On the anniversary of 9-11, NDN’s MENA Initiative is convening a panel to examine U.S. strategy in the region beyond the traditional lens of counter-terrorism and military conflict. Experts will reflect upon the U.S. response to the Arab Spring, analyze the implications of recent events, and answer the critical question: can and should the U.S. be doing more to support democratic transitions?
