As the crisis in Syria intensifies, the United States and its allies are considering a response, including possible military strikes on Syria.
This panel of experts will provide context on regional dynamics in the Middle East (Kaufman), explain international legal issues surrounding the use of force (O’Connell), and discuss the implications for U.S. and international security (Desch). Panelists will consider the arguments both for and against military action and leave plenty of time for questions, answers, and participation from students, faculty, staff, and the community.
