Great Power Competition Series featuring Secretary Mark Esper
The Phoenix Committee on Foreign Relations, McCain Institute at ASU and ASU Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law present a series of renowned speakers on Great Power Competition.
U.S. security strategy has focused on the global war on terrorism since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and while terrorism still exists, the past two administrations have identified Great Power Competition as the political construct guiding U.S. foreign policy.
Mark T. Esper, former Secretary of Defense and the Army, discusses Great Power Competition and the U.S role and balance of power in the Indo-Pacific, China and Taiwan, and the state of global power politics.
