Event: CNA National Security Seminar Series – Nov. 4

Thursday, November 4, 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. — Robert Kaplan, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, a national correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly, and a member of the Defense Policy Board will discuss his new book: www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperlMonsoon: The Indian Ocean and the Future of American Power. In Monsoon, Kaplan argues that, during the 20th Century, Europe and the Atlantic Ocean were the locus of international power; now the geopolitical center has shifted to the Indian Ocean region. On November 4 he will discuss the impact of this power realignment on U.S. diplomatic, economic, and military interests in Asia and the Indian Ocean, especially as it relates to vital interests in energy independence and global stability.
