The Trump administration certainly has its work cut out in their quest to create a cohesive, clear foreign policy strategy. Let me set the scene outside of the United States: While personally moderating a key panel at the Munich Security Conference last week on the future of the alliance that included Defense Ministers from five […]
This past week has certainly been a bumpy one for the Trump administration at a time when stability is desperately needed. While Vice President Mike Pence and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis were meeting with NATO on their way to the Munich Security Conference, back at home Gen. Michael Flynn resigned from his position as National […]
Last week, I had the pleasure of hosting CBS News President David Rhodes at The Fletcher School as part of a program with our Murrow Center for a Digital World. Rhodes is a luminary in his field, having become the youngest network news president in U.S. history in 2011 and has received countless accolades. Aside […]
Many of us are still reeling from the events that transpired last weekend, which have continued to unfold throughout the week. At Fletcher, we value and respect all members of our community, and we are committed to protecting the international members of our community, regardless of national origin, religion or citizenship status. These are fundamental […]
The set of foreign-policy challenges headed like a freight train at the Trump administration is obvious: the Islamic State and the tragedy of Syria; a bubbling North Korea led by an unpredictable dictator with nuclear weapons; an angry China hypersensitive about Taiwan and the South China Sea; and Russian cyber-activity roiling domestic political waters alongside […]

Since the election, I’ve been hoping for a sense of normalcy to return to U.S. politics and global affairs. And yet each week seems more tumultuous than the last.
This past week, a news outlet released documents that alleged the Russian government had proof that President-elect Trump engaged in inappropriate acts while in Russia, among […]
Here at Fletcher, we pride ourselves on our multifaceted approach to education. By examining problems through a number of lenses – business, politics, security, diplomacy, among others – our students and faculty are able to tackle real-world challenges head-on with smart, informed and holistic approaches.
From the rise of ISIS to the continued struggle over […]
This past week, President Obama announced sanctions against Russia for its brazen attack on the U.S. election process. The President’s order included expelling 35 Russian diplomats and shuttering two Russian compounds, among other actions.
But are the President’s actions—nearly six months after the initial hacks and mere weeks before his presidency ends—enough to slow down […]
While our semester has begun to wind down as we head into the holiday break here at The Fletcher School, significant global events continue to occur at full speed.
This past week we learned that in late October, President Obama used the “red phone” to connect directly with the Kremlin, warning Russia against interfering in […]
