Panel to discuss foreign policy

The political science department will bring a frank discussion of the international implications of the Sept. 11 attacks to campus tonight. \nCalled "International Terrorism and Global Security," the discussion will be conducted in panel form, with three IU experts in international and comparative politics and American foreign policy. \nJunior Paul Musgrave, moderator of the event, said he hopes the audience comes for an open discussion with questions and a thirst for more insight about the future of American foreign policy.\n"The panel is an attempt to allow the public to ask specialist what the world will look like in the coming years," Musgrave said. "We want to see what issues the public is concerned with."\nBrought together by graduate student Mike Craw, the panel of experts consists of political science Professors Dina Spechler and Michael McGinnis and Professor Emeritus Iliya Harik.\nSpechler, who's area of expertise is in international politics and foreign policy, said she is looking forward to the interaction with the public.\n"My assumption is that it will be quite a lively interaction between the crowd and the panel," Spechler said.\nThe discussion will begin with initial questioning from Musgrave, but the questions will be left for the audience to ask.\nHarik, whose area of expertise is in Middle Eastern policy and comparative politics, said the public could benefit greatly from Wednesday's open discussion.\n"What I'd like to do is be a resource for the audience," Harik said. "I will be happy to answer any questions people might have."\nFORUM:"International Terrorism and Global Security" 7- 8:30 p.m. in Ballantine Hall room 310.
