Great Decisions - Special Envoys
"Special envoys can help bring attention and diplomatic muscle to resolve conflicts and global challenges but they also bring with them their own 'special problems'. Will the Obama administration's reliance on special envoys increase the ability of the U. S. to deal with major international issues or complicate our diplomatic options?" Bernice Baeumler will be the facilitator.
