\n\nForeign Policy Presentation \;hosted by
Utah Defense Alliance
\n\nfeaturing Dr. Cynthia Watson
\n\n \;
\n\n\n
\nOur speaker will be Dr. Cynthia Watson\, world renowned authority on security policy and former provost of the nation&rsquo\;s premier institution for \;advanced national security\, the National Defense University.
\n \;
\nDr. Watson is an expert in analysis of the Asia Pacific and Latin America regions. \; \;Among other posts\, she was a member of the National Committee on U.S.- China relations and the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
\n
\nPresentation Title &\; Topic:
\n&ldquo\;The &lsquo\;Donroe&rsquo\; Doctrine versus the Belt &\; Road: What&rsquo\;s ahead for Latin America?&rdquo\;
\n \;
\nOn 3 January 2026\, the \;Wall Street Journal \;referred to the U.S. removal of Maduro in Venezuela as The &lsquo\;Donroe&rsquo\;\, rather than Monroe\, Doctrine in action. \;
\n
\nRecent policy commitments to refocusing on our own hemisphere confront a changed context which includes an active China in this region.
\n \;
\nWhat does that mean?
\nHow can we effectively resume a central role in the region or have we left it too late with too few resources?
\n \;
\nSome thoughts as we collectively examine these questions.
\n
