Osher at Dartmouth Summer Lecture Series
There is so much that the United States and China could do together, for their citizens and for the world. Yet today they remain at daggers drawn. Over the last decade their relationship has only worsened. Visitors to Washington and Beijing are struck at how embittered the most consequential relationship of our time has become. Compounding the tensions, bilateral U.S.-China talks are at a standstill.
What changes must take place to enable China and the United States to conduct themselves
in a manner that will ensure mutually beneficial competition and avoid conflict?
This summer’s lecture series aims to address these questions by inviting recognized
experts and officials from the United States, China, and Canada to examine the conflicts
and suggest a way forward.
