NSI celebrated the bicentennial of the Monroe Doctrine, where we explored its historical roots, its evolving legacy, and its potential relevance to the modern geopolitical landscape.

The Monroe Doctrine, which sought to halt foreign interference in the Western Hemisphere, has reemerged within the policymaking community as the United States seeks to develop an approach to respond to challengers from outside the Western Hemisphere – in particular, from China and its growing presence in the region. This event examined policies that promote and maintain U.S. economic and national security, as well as uphold wider regional security and stability.

The event will began with keynote remarks by Senator Jim Risch (R-ID), Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and was followed by a panel discussion with:

• Dr. Colin Dueck, Professor, George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government
• Ana Quintana-Lovett, former Staff Director, Western Hemisphere, the House Foreign Affairs Committee
• Liza Tobin, Senior Director of Research and Analysis of Economy, Special Competitive Studies Project
• Lester Munson, NSI Senior Fellow and former Staff Director, Senate Committee Foreign Relations
