The Second Annual Oksenberg Lecture Featuring The Honorable George P. Shultz

The Honorable George P. Shultz, 60th Secretary of State and Thomas W. and Susan B. Ford Distinguished Fellow at the Hoover Institution will reflect on Issues and Ideas about Mike Oksenberg's Asia.

George P. Shultz has had a distinguished career in government, in academia, and in the world of business. He is one of a handful of individuals who have held four different federal cabinet posts; he has taught at three of this country?s greatest universities; and for eight years he was president of a major engineering/construction company.

The Oksenberg Lecture honors the legacy of Professor Michel Oksenberg (1938?2001) longtime member of APARC, senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for International Studies, and an authority on China. Distinguished scholar, mentor to generations of students, senior government official, and a prominent force shaping American attitudes toward Asia, Professor Oksenberg was consistently outspoken about the need for the United States to engage with Asia in a more considered manner. In tribute, the Oksenberg Lecture recognizes, annually, a distinguished individual who has helped to advance understanding between the United States and the nations of the Asia-Pacific.

The Shorenstein Forum was established at the Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC) in 1998, through the generosity of Walter H. Shorenstein. The Forum convenes policymakers, executives, journalists, and others who shape outcomes across Asia.
