“Retreat and Its Consequences:
American Foreign Policy and the Problem of World Order”
The role of the United States in the world is perhaps the
most important issue in contemporary American foreign policy. Many
believe that the previous Administration diminished America’s participation and
leadership role beyond that required by coping with overreach; and many are
confused about the current Administration’s strategic vision. Hence, we
are extraordinarily fortunate to be joined by one of the nation’s premier
scholars who has given long and serious attention precisely to the issue of
America’s role in the world.
He is the author or editor of seventeen books on
international relations and United States foreign policy, including a series of
books on American engagement and retrenchment in the 21st century published by
Cambridge University Press, an America’s future trilogy: The American Era:
Power & Strategy for the 21st Century (2005); Power and
Willpower in the American Future: Why the United States Is Not Destined To
Decline (2012); and Retreat and Its Consequences: American Foreign Policy
and the Problem of World Order (2016).
Professor Lieber received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from
the University of Wisconsin and his Ph.D. from Harvard. He has taught at
Harvard, Oxford, and the University of California, Davis, and has been Visiting
Fellow at the Atlantic Institute in Paris, the Brookings Institution in
Washington, and Fudan University in Shanghai. He has served as an advisor
to several presidential campaigns, to the State Department, and to the drafters
of the United States Intelligence Estimates. Professor Lieber has
lectured in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and his op-eds and articles have
appeared in scholarly journals in the United States, Germany, Great Britain,
France, and Israel. Media appearances have been on the major American
news networks, BBC, Al Jazeera, and others in Europe, the Arab world, and
Israel.
It is an honor and a pleasure to welcome Professor Robert J.
Lieber to the Council.
