This has been a week for the history books. I’m not contending that it’s been a good week, but certainly one that I think we’ll look back at with incredulity.
Coming off the coattails of a somewhat disastrous trip to Brussels and the UK, I talked with my friend David Gura of MSNBC […]
The NATO alliance is in a state of high tension heading into the Brussels summit next week.
In some ways, of course, we’ve been here before. When I was the Supreme Allied Commander, we had controversy and disagreements aplenty over Afghanistan and Libya, for example, and reports of the decline of NATO have been constant over […]
I spent the last week abroad in both Europe and Asia watching as the Trump administration continued to inject chaos into the world of domestic and international politics.
First came the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the President’s travel ban, targeting mostly Muslim-majority countries. It’s important to state upfront that this is the way our […]
It’s been a wild week for geopolitics, and particularly public diplomacy, from insults thrown at our allies at the G-7 to niceties, pomp, and circumstance (and even a little saluting) in Singapore.
But first, I have some personal news to share. After five wonderful years here at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, I have made […]
President Trump will be jet-setting from Quebec to Singapore this week, leaving the tumultuous G7 Summit for what could be an equally bumpy meeting with Kim Jong-un in Singapore.
Let’s take a look back. Prior to the G7, President Trump announced new tariffs on steel and aluminum that threaten to spark an all-out trade war […]
Like moths drawn to the flame of international publicity, it appears as though President Trump and Kim Jong-un will, indeed, hold their long-awaited summit in Singapore. The big questions are: Can a summit be put together in just under two weeks? And what can be accomplished during the meeting?
My answers? Yes, a summit can […]
Last week was a bit of a whirlwind, to put it lightly! With just a few things brewing internationally, I weighed in with some of our favorite folks to discuss everything from the U.S.-DPRK talks landing back on the rocks, to peering into the crystal ball to see what will become of the Iran nuclear […]
It’s been another bumpy week in Washington.
While I didn’t agree with the Iran deal when it was first proposed, I was hopeful that the days of debating its merits were over. It was, as we say, a done deal. That was until Tuesday, when President Donald Trump announced the U.S. would pull out, leaving […]
On May 12, President Donald Trump will have to make a decision regarding the United States’ commitment to the Iran Deal. Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might have made the decision just a bit easier for the President.
In a Steve Jobs-style performance (almost like unveiling the latest iPhone) directed right at […]
On Thursday, I was honored to sit down with David Gergen for a wide-ranging discussion on global leadership in the 21stcentury.
David knows a thing or two about leadership – he served as a White House adviser to four U.S. presidents who hailed from both sides of the aisle: Nixon, Ford, Reagan, […]
Dean Stavridis with his basset hound, Lilly.
Dean James Stavridis is the 12th leader of The Fletcher School since its founding in 1933. A retired Admiral in the U.S. Navy, he led the NATO Alliance in global operations from 2009 to 2013 as Supreme Allied Commander.
