Since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, American policymakers have been forced to reassess their priorities and consider longer-term and more flexible strategies for meeting unexpected contingencies in the post–Cold War world. Currently, the United States is the only competent Western power at the most intense and technologically sophisticated end of military operations and the expected hand-holder of its European allies at the most basic peace-keeping end. Please join us for a timely forum as three contributors to the Cato Institute’s new book, Exiting the Balkan Thicket, review the West’s experiences in Bosnia and Kosovo and provide recommendations on how the United States can move beyond the status quo to forge a better balanced and more forward-looking security relationship with its European allies.
