The Middle East Institute will host Ambassador Dennis Ross for a discussion on his recently published book, Statecraft, And How to Restore America's Standing in the World, which argues that in the post-Soviet era of globalization it is essential to use the traditional tools of statecraft—diplomacy, economic, and military—to advance American national interest.
