What are the strengths and weaknesses of U.S. strategic communications? How do great power competitors compare? And how can the United States best improve its capabilities moving forward? Last December, William & Mary partnered with the Gates Global Policy Center to convene the inaugural Gates Forum that tackled these questions by drawing upon original research produced by GRI/AidData. Join a panel of experts for the public launch of the research volume, “Reputational Security: The Imperative to Reinvest in America’s Strategic Communications Capabilities.”
Panelists:
Samantha Custer, Director of Policy Analysis, AidData
Dr. Vivian Walker, Executive Director, U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy
Shawn Powers, Director, Strategic Planning and Communications, Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy, U.S. State Department
Moderator:
Thom Shanker, Director, Project for Media and National Security
