The Washington Center for internships and academic seminars announces a new May seminar entitled “Top Secret: Challenges to National Security in a Global Society,” which will take place May 16-21, 2010. The program is offered in partnership with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). They will have some of the nation’s top experts on national security speak to the group, with a possible site visit to the National Counterterrorism Center and one of D.C.’s most popular attractions, the International Spy Museum. The seminar will explore the tradeoffs and tensions that have and will emerge as the U.S. and other countries grapple with immediate national security threats and long-term security challenges.
