Sharing the U.S. experience of a peaceful presidential transition can provide a model for other democracies.

Join us on March 24, at 10 a.m. EDT (14:00 GMT), for the webcast of a program aimed at explaining American democracy to an Egyptian audience. The audience will be composed of academics, university students, professors, alumni of U.S.-funded exchange programs and others interested in political science and U.S. history. Our guest will be Dr. Stephen J. Wayne.
