Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University; Eynat Shlein-Michael, counselor for Middle Eastern affairs at the Embassy of Israel, Washington, DC: and, Rami Khouri, editor-at-large of the Beirut Daily Star and director of the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs, American University of Beirut. Lake, who was Five College Professor of International Relations at Amherst and Mount Holyoke colleges from 1981 to 1992, served as national security adviser in the Clinton administration. In 2004, Khouri was the first Global Scholar-in-Residence at the McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives. Rather than focusing on Iraq or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the event sought to look at the Middle East more broadly. Each panelist discussed regional trends and perspectives, as well as what they regard as major security threats and their suggestions for real solutions. 11:28 Mount Holyoke College, MHC, McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives, Middle East as Global Challenge, Anthony Lake, Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy, Edmund A.
