During the past decade the Americas have witnessed significant national and regional initiatives in support of political, economic and cultural developments. These initiatives have caused a shift of historical military roles resulting in changing relationships between civilian and military leaders. The dynamic process of changing world realities requires civil-military relations to continue to serve a primary role in supporting democracy. This symposium will allow civilian and military leaders and academicians to address broad issues of civil-military relations, including civilian control of the military throughout the regions, and the need for inclusion of military participation in the development of pertinent national strategies.
Attendance is by invitation only and closed to the general public.
International Relations desire active participation, and participants are encouraged to forward any monographs they wish to share with the symposium. Simultaneous interpretation will be provided during the entire conference.
