As a bipartisan public policy organization, the Center for Strategic and International Studies seeks to foster a consensus-driven approach during the run-up to the 2008 elections by providing a platform for constructive and balanced dialogue and debate on the wide range of foreign policy and defense issues confronting the nation. In the coming months, CSIS will present the following "Decision 2008" programs:
Presidential Candidates Forum — a podium from which presidential candidates from the Democratic and Republican parties will be offered an equal opportunity to outline their foreign policy and national security agendas before a bipartisan Washington, DC policy audience.
Congressional Dialogue Series — events that feature members of Congress from both sides of the aisle discussing a critical national security or foreign policy issue.
Issues Series — timely and relevant policy briefs, commentaries, and reports written by CSIS experts and selected for the foreign policy and national security advisers to the 2008 presidential campaigns.
Decision 2008 is made possible through the generous support of Edward N. Ney.
