[ASU] Africa Policy in the Obama Era - This Thursday, May 3 at Noon

[African Student Union at OU]

The Department of African Studies and the OU FLAS Fellows cordially invite
you to this Thursday's African Studies at Noon in the Baker Center
Multicultural Center.


Our speaker will be Mark Clack, Senior Vice President of Cassidy and
Associates. Mark's presentation is on U.S. - Africa Policy in the Obama
Era.  His presentation takes a survey of the evolution of U.S. national
interests in Africa from the anti-colonial era through the current Obama
administration. Special attention will be given to Congress and the
President in determining policy and spending priorities. Furthermore, this
presentation will un-blur the lines between defense, diplomacy and
development during the George W. Bush administration. To close, this
presentation will examine President Obama’s Africa agenda – democracy and
human rights, security, trade and export promotion.



Mark Clack has worked for over twenty years on various facets of
international affairs and foreign policy, and conducts advocacy on human
rights issues, conflict resolution, global health and foreign assistance,
with a strong focus on Africa, the Middle East and Europe. Mr. Clack moved
to his current position from KRL International where he conducted issue
advocacy, profile-building, outreach, research and analysis on behalf of
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, ArcelorMittal London & Liberia,
Chevron and numerous others.


We hope to see you there.
