Forum topic targets U.S., Pakistan policy

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. -- Dr. Andrea Grove, assistant professor of political science at Westminster College, will present "Understanding U.S. Foreign Policy Toward Pakistan: Why the War on Terror Fuels the Jihad" at Faculty Forum at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday in Sebastian Mueller Theater in the McKelvey Campus Center.
The presentation is based on a chapter in her forthcoming book about leadership in international relations. "I will discuss how focusing on General Musharraf's leadership strategies allow us to see clearly that American foreign policy toward post-Sept. 11 Pakistan is deeply misguided: The United States sees Pakistan's Musharraf as a key to fighting terrorism, but in fact Pakistan has become one of its central staging grounds."
Grove, who has been with Westminster College since 2000, earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia, master's from Lancaster University and doctorate from Ohio State University. She can be reached at (724) 946-7254 or by e-mail at groveak@westminster/edu.
