Evening Zoom Meeting - October15 - 6:30 pm

Professor Sarwar Kashmeri
 
With China on track to overtake America’s global dominance, there is no better analyst of the economic, political and trade implications than acclaimed international relations specialist and author Sarwar Kashmeri. His latest book, China’s Grand Strategy: Weaving a New Silk Road to Global Primacy, which former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said, "captures the essence of the real issues of our time," is the authoritative book on China’s Belt and Road Initiative. It was also named a centennial book of the Foreign Policy Association, where Professor Kashmeri is a fellow. Known for his extensive research and global fact-finding missions to see China’s influence in action, Professor Kashmeri’s keynotes are filled with informative case studies, illuminating insights and expert recommendations. His urgent point of view: The U.S. has a narrow window of opportunity to find a way to engage and fit into a world in which the rules of the game are going to be increasingly set by China. As the foreword to his new book puts it, "…If one is not at the table, there is always the risk of being on the menu."

A former international businessman, Professor Kashmeri brings a comprehensive global business perspective to issues of trade, investment, foreign policy, and defense. Before entering academia, he was the CEO of a New York based international technology company and a communications advisor for several Fortune 100 companies. He currently serves as an applied research fellow at the Peace and War Center, Norwich University. Active in many media, Professor Kashmeri has appeared on CNN, Sky News, C-SPAN, Fox, and German news network Deutsche Welle. He has also hosted China Focus, a podcast series for the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Professor Kashmeri has also appeared in New York Times International, The Guardian, U.S. News and World Report, and was the focus of a series of interviews with Xinhua, China’s global news agency. He is the author of three books and the U.S. Army War College’s monograph, NATO and the EU’s Common Security and Defense Policy; Intersecting Trajectories. He earned a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering and a M.S. in Engineering, both from Saint Louis University.

Appearing before audiences ranging from business groups to the World Affairs Council to the United States Military Academy/West Point and the United States Army War College, Professor Kashmeri "lays bare the challenges posed by China’s grand strategy for its rise to global dominance…and how America has failed to develop a broad, long-term grand strategy of its own." As nations watch the baton of leadership being passed, Professor Kashmeri provides invaluable guidance on preparing for nothing less than a new world order.
