Welcome to At the Waterʼs Edge, an open forum for discussion of international relations and foreign policy issues hosted by the Tucson Committee on Foreign Relations. Our goal is to present interesting, concise, and reliable information that will stimulate constructive discussion within and beyond the TCFR community.
The spirit of At the Waterʼs Edge is suggested by the forumʼs name. We encourage expression of diverse views and opinions. We also honor a long American tradition of domestic political differences stopping at the waterʼs edge in favor of a bipartisan foreign policy. Here, divergent views carry us to the waterʼs edge of greater knowledge and understanding.
Itʼs appropriate that the inaugural post on At the Waterʼs Edge is written by Dr. Thomas Volgy. Tom is Professor of Political Science at the University of Arizona, specializing in international politics, democratic processes, and domestic public policy. He is a longtime TCFR member and, currently, vice president of the TCFR Executive Board.
We encourage your participation in At the Waterʼs Edge, both as an author and in comments to othersʼ posts. Our editorial guidelines can be found by clicking on the “Blog” tab on our web site.
There is a wealth of experience and perspectives among TCFR members. Let the discussion begin!
