The Age of Illusions: How to Fix U.S. Foreign Policy

Zoom Webinar

June 1, 2020 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET

The Cold War ended with a decisive U.S. and Western victory, resulting in increased globalization and a U.S. global leadership role. Yet, this post-Cold War leadership role has devolved into wide-ranging U.S. military campaigns worldwide, the use of military for nation-building purposes, and other policy decisions that some argue have not made best use of the U.S. advantage nor strengthened its position. Have we squandered our Cold War victory? And does this pandemic serve as a second chance to reflect and reconsider the proclivities of U.S. foreign policy and national security? Tune in on Monday, June 1st, from 12 PM to 1 PM ET to re-evaluate U.S. foreign and national security policies with Andrew Bacevich – academic, veteran, and best-selling author.

Listen to Andrew Bacevich’s thoughts on U.S. foreign policy:
