    Lecture Abstract:

    With the administration of President Barack Obama in its final year and an especially vigorous electoral campaign under way, US foreign policy is once again in a transitional period. A new president will take the oath of office on January 20, 2017.

    In this lecture, Professor Michael Brown assesses the Obama administration’s foreign policy record to date – its strengths and weaknesses, its accomplishments and failures, and its likely legacies for the future. He reviews the stated foreign policy positions of the leading presidential candidates, and he analyzes the prospects for continuity and change in US foreign policy in the next administration, with a focus on the prospects for US policy toward Asia.
