Clinton and Gates: An Unprecedented Conversation with the U.S. Secretaries of State and Defense on American Persuasion and Power

Mon, 5 October, 2009 3:00pm

At a time of daunting challenges facing the United States around the world — from the war in Afghanistan to the nuclear challenge posed by Iran and North Korea, from terrorism to global poverty — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates discussed the reach and limitations of American power and how we can most effectively use this power. The conversation was moderated by GW School of Media and Public Affairs Director Frank Sesno and CNN Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour.

The program was broadcast domestically in high definition and internationally on CNN and air in the U.S. as a special edition of CNN’s new program Amanpour. A one hour radio special was produced and distributed by America Abroad Media internationally and to 240 public radio stations in the United States.
