Brochure introducing the Policy Dialogue Series and advertising "Ending the Conflict in Liberia: Implications for U.S. Policy toward West Africa" on December 8, 1985 at TransAfrica Forum. The presenter is Dr. George Klay Kieh, Director of the Center for International Studies, Morehouse College. Respondents are Dr. Guy Martin, Clark Atlanta University, and Tim Trenkle, Legislative Director for Senator Nancy Kassebaum. TransAfrica Forum initiated the TransAfrica Forum Policy Institute in August 1995. Its primary function is to contribute to informed policy debate through analysis of issues and development of a range of innovative foreign policies. These policies will be based on the principle that, in this increasingly interdependent world, U.S. foreign policy should create conditions that will serve the interests of the people of both the African world and the United States. The institute will sponsor a Policy Dialogue Series that will bring together diverse constituencies to collaborate to formulate innovative, alternative U.S. policies toward Africa and stimulate broad-based discussion and debate about policy alternatives. The institute will identify four critical issues each year, invite a consultant to prepare a policy proposal on each, and host a public forum to critique each proposal. At each forum, the consultant will present the policy proposal, and two respondents will give their reactions. Discussion among participants will follow, based on a rule of non-attribution. Members of the Police Dialogue Planning Committee are Elliott Skinner, Ph.D., Franz Boas Professor of Anthropology, Columbia University; Niikwao Akuetteh, Director of Programming, Constituency for Africa; Salih Booker, Fellow for Africa, Council on Foreign Relations; Shirley Cooks, Director, Congressional Affairs Program, African-American Institute; Imani Countess, Executive Director, Washington Office on Africa; Janet Fleishman, Washington Director for Africa, Human Rights Watch; David Gordon, Professional Staff Member, Committee on International Relations, Lhatoya Reed, Intern, TransAfrica Forum; and Cherri Waters, Ph.D., Executive Director, TransAfrica Forum.
