Panel: American Enterprise Institute – Elbridge Colby

After years of the US “pivoting to Asia,” there is bipartisan consensus that China is one of — if not the — major threats to US stability and prosperity. But concerted action from the Pentagon that matches the gravity of this threat is lacking. As the lead official for the 2018 National Defense Strategy, Elbridge Colby grappled with how to redirect attention and resources against China. His new book, “The Strategy of Denial: American Defense in an Age of Great Power Conflict” (Yale University Press, 2021), offers a solution. View AEI’s panel discussion on how the US can craft a military strategy that will deter threats from China, featuring Mr. Colby and AEI’s Dan Blumenthal, Oriana Skylar Mastro, and Colin Dueck.
