The Biden Administration's National Security Strategy has drawn
some criticism for its relatively late release, but what of its
actual substance? Today, Alistair Taylor talks with four experts,
each with unique insights into the context and strategy of this
document with regards to the Middle East, North Africa, and
American foreign policy at large.
Our first guest is Ross Harrison, a Senior Fellow and Director of
Research at the Middle East Institute, and a Professor of Political
Science at the University of Pittsburgh. Our second guest is Jerry
Feierstein, Distinguished Senior Fellow on U.S. Diplomacy and
Director of MEI’s Arabian Peninsula Affairs Program. We are then
joined by Dr. Marwa Maziad, a Non-Resident Scholar with MEI's
Defense and Security Program and a Visiting Assistant Professor of
Israel Studies at the Gildenhorn Institute at the University of
Maryland. Our final guest is Melissa Horvath, a Non-Resident
Scholar with MEI’s Defense and Security Program and the lead
Foreign Military Sales Instructor and Curriculum Developer at ASRC
Federal.
