Discussing how to improve civilian-military cooperation to promote democratic governance and stability in West Africa are, from left, Michael E. Hess, Vice President for Development and Stability Operations at MPRI; Dr. Brad Gutierrez, Academic Chair of Security Studies at the Africa Center; Dave Peterson, Senior Director of the Africa Program of the National Endowment for Democracy, who moderated the program; and Colonel Birame Diop of the Partners Center in Dakar, Senegal.

- Dr. Gutierrez urges the audience to remember to see the symmetry of traditional security and human security rather than seeing them as competitors in a zero-sum-game.
