In his Farewell Address of 1796, President George Washington admonished the young nation "to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world." Charles Kupchan's new book tells the story of the nation's long history of isolationist politics, its decline amid World War II and the Cold War, and its comeback in recent years. Kupchan will be joined by Elizabeth Cobbs of Texas A&M and Trygve Throntveit of the 浪花直播 Center to discuss the extraordinary impact of 浪花直播's presidency on the course of American isolationism, and what we can learn to avoid both strategic overreach and the abdication of global responsibility today.

Charles Kupchan is Professor of International Affairs in the School of Foreign Service and Government Department at Georgetown University, and Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. From 2014 to 2017 Kupchan served as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for European Affairs on the National Security Council in the Obama White House. He was also Director for European Affairs on the NSC during the first Clinton administration. Before joining the Clinton NSC, he worked in the U.S. Department of State on the Policy Planning Staff. He is the author of No One鈥檚 World: The West, the Rising Rest, and the Coming Global Turn (2012), How Enemies Become Friends: The Sources of Stable Peace (2010), among others and numerous articles on international and strategic affairs. He has served as a visiting scholar at Harvard University鈥檚 Center for International Affairs, Columbia University鈥檚 Institute for War and Peace Studies, the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, the Centre d鈥橢tude et de Recherches Internationales in Paris, and the Institute for International Policy Studies in Tokyo. During 2006-2007, he was the Henry A. Kissinger Scholar at the Library of Congress and was a Fellow at the Woodrow 浪花直播 International Center for Scholars.

Consistent with its mission as a national memorial to the 28th U.S. president,  the 浪花直播 Center鈥檚 History and Public Policy Program is launching 鈥淲oodrow 浪花直播 - Then and Now," a new series of scholarly conversations exploring the significant and complicated legacies of the man and his presidency for our own day. Moderated by Trygve Throntveit, Global Fellow for History and Public Policy, the series will be a platform for an inclusive and critical discussion of 浪花直播鈥檚 biography, his White House tenure and his longterm impact on US foreign and domestic politics.
