The Foreign Policy Roundtable is a series of monthly seminars, with a different author presenting a discussion paper, drawn from a recent article or other work-in-progress, on an issue of current concern to U.S. foreign policy. The seminar group consists primarily of journalists, editors, and a sprinkling of academics and Council staff. The roundtable has been meeting regularly under this format since late 1988. During the past year, author/presenters included Leon Sigal, Tozun Bahcheli, Robert Hutchings and Vojtech Mastny.
