Rising tensions in the relationship between the United States and Russia are beginning to cause a “Cool War” — a sort of Cold War-lite — that threatens both Washington [...]
Today, I’m speaking to you from the Ginn Library. This was one of my favorites places to come when I was studying for my P.h.D, almost 30 years ago! Perhaps it was your favorite, too.
This month I have a lot of exciting announcements to punctuate a very busy end-of-semester season at Fletcher: the first [...]
In our piece in today’s USA Today, General Anthony Zinni, USMC (Ret.), co-chair of the National Security Advisory Council of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition and I discuss increasing global security through means of diplomacy and using “smart power.” The following is an excerpt:
