The UCL Institute of the Americas US Foreign Policy and National Security Seminar series is a new seminar series that will be running throughout the year at the Institute's premises in central London. The objective of the series is to engender discussion and debate with both students and the wider public, regarding a broad mix of both contemporary and historical US Foreign Policy and National Security issues. The programme will encompass a series of panels and roundtable discussions, by leading scholars in the field.
