More from YourNewsCamarillo, Calif., Oct. 2, 2007- California State University Channel Islands Professor Andrea Grove will offer a lecture titled: "Unintended Consequences: Political Leadership and The Fueling of Islamic Extremism." The lecture will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 16 in Aliso Hall 150 (auditorium) on the CSUCI campus.
Admission is free. Free parking and shuttle service to and from the campus will be available from the Camarillo Metrolink Station/Lewis Road parking lot in Camarillo from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Parking is available on campus and is $6 for a daily permit.Grove's lecture is based on a chapter of a book she recently authored, "Political Leadership in Foreign Policy: Manipulating Support across Borders" published by Palgrave MacMillian. Grove is an associate professor of political science at CSU Channel Islands.The following is a synopsis of Grove's lecture: Pakistan in the Musharraf era is viewed by many as absolutely critical in the American policy to fight global terrorism. Despite the grim situation facing his leadership in 2001, Musharraf managed to manipulate domestic and international factors to his advantage. Policymakers have not sufficiently viewed Musharraf as engaging in intermestic politics and thus have seriously misjudged Pakistan's role in the "war on terror." If policymakers have a better idea of the strategies available to leaders and how the contexts those leaders find themselves in might be manipulated by using particular strategies, their policies could better reflect the complexity of the challenge. This lecture is sponsored by the CSUCI Political Science Program.For more information about this event contact Chanda Stewart, faculty support coordinator, 805-437-3139 or chanda.stewart@csuci.edu.For media inquires about this event contact Ceal Potts, communications specialist at CSUCI, 805-437-8940 or cecilia.potts@csuci.edu.
