HILLARY CLINTON, U.S. secretary of state (and former Stanford First Mom), spoke at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., Thursday, May 27, on the Obama administration’s first National Security Strategy, a report submitted to Congress by each president to outline the intended U.S. response to major national security concerns. The Managing Global Insecurity project hosted the event. The project is led by STEPHEN STEDMAN, a senior fellow, and BRUCE JONES, a consulting professor, at the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC). Jones’ blog about Clinton and the administration’s national security strategy is posted on the CISAC website.
