Event Transcripts and Video

The U.S., for better or worse, is often seen as the world’s policeman. But the question of when to intervene in other nations’ affairs with military force has long stymied American policymakers, from Afghanistan and Iraq to Libya and Syria. Why do we intervene in some conflicts and stand on the sidelines in others?

The FPA, YPFP and Scholastic screened "The Intervention Calculation," a 30-minute documentary examination of U.S. intervention policy featuring U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, former head of policy planning at the State Department Anne-Marie Slaughter,  Eurasia Group's Ian Bremmer, former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and other key figures in the debate.

The event was followed by a Q&A session with Foreign Affairs Managing Editor Jonathan Tepperman and Washington Post and Foreign Policy Magazine UN correspondent Colum Lynch.
