Seminar XXI is an educational program for senior military officers, Government and Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) officials, and executives in the national security policy community. The program's objective is to provide future leaders of that community with enhanced analytic skills for understanding foreign countries and the relations among them. The program explores key policy issues by examining countries and problems critical to American interests through a variety of paradigmatic lenses. Eminent speakers present alternative perspectives from which the given country or problem can be understood, providing concrete frameworks for examining how different paradigms suggest fundamentally different, even conflicting, answers to the questions American policymakers must resolve.
