The 2016 presidential campaign will  likely  focus  heavily  on  conflicting perspectives among the candidates as to  proper goals  of American foreign policy  and  methodologies  for implementing those goals on the world stage.  At our  fall  kick - off program for the 2015 - 16  World Affairs Council  Anniversary year, we offer members a  unique  opportunity to discuss foreign policy development with someone who has  spent his career  researching and writing  about  it.  Dr. Brown is Adjunct Senior Fellow  for the  American Security Project and Senior Advisor to the Security  Studies  Program  Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technology  and over  his  long  career has  worked  for  both  the  Departments of State and Defense , and several think tanks .  He will talk to us about  the  issues and values behind  American policy  decisions including  those  of  the  Obama administration .  We  will  examine  and  discuss  the  outcomes of some of those decisions to predict the viability of those options  in tomorrow’s  world.
