SECWAC Presents "The Empty Throne: America's Abdication of Global Leadership"

The three pillars of the postwar foreign policy that America created - strong alliances, open markets, and commitment to democracy and human rights - are under threat from a president who sees little value in them, according to Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay in their new book, The Empty Throne: America?s Abdication of Global Leadership.
A reception will begin at 5:30 p.m., with the main event beginning at 6:00 p.m. The presentation is a part of the SECWAC 2018-2019 Speaker Series. For non-members, tickets ($20) may be purchased at the door; ticket cost can subsequently be applied towards a SECWAC membership. Attendance is free for SECWAC members (and their guests). Pro-rated half-year membership was introduced in February; half-year membership February through June 2019 is $37.50; $12.50 for young professionals under 35; free for area college and high school students.
Immediately following the presentation, attendees have the option for $35 of attending a dinner with the speaker at The Old Lyme Country Club.
