Camarillo, Calif., Oct. 2, 2007鈥�91吃瓜 Professor Andrea Grove will offer a lecture titled: 鈥淯nintended Consequences: Political Leadership and The Fueling of Islamic Extremism.鈥� 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鈥檚 lecture is based on a chapter of a book she recently authored, 鈥淧olitical Leadership in Foreign Policy: Manipulating Support across Borders鈥� published by Palgrave MacMillian. Grove is an associate professor of political science at CSU Channel Islands.

The following is a synopsis of Grove鈥檚 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鈥檚 role in the 鈥渨ar on terror.鈥� 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.
