Briefing on the Beijing Olympics

August 7, 2008

With the approach of the Beijing Olympics, significant political issues have surfaced concerning human rights in Tibet, Darfur, and elsewhere. How politics will affect the Olympics, and how the Olympics may affect international politics, was the subject of an FPRI telephone briefing featuring three distinguished panelists:

She received her Ph.D. in History from the University of Pennsylvania, where she was awarded a Bradley Foundation Fellowship.
