Show notes

The United States maintains a veritable empire of military bases throughout the world—about 800 of them in more than 70 countries. This forward‐deployed military posture incurs substantial costs and disadvantages, exposing the United States to vulnerabilities and unintended consequences. The strategic justifications for overseas bases—that they deter adversaries, reassure allies, and enable rapid deployment operations—have lost much of their value and relevance in the contemporary security environment.

Cybersecurity or Protectionism? Defusing the Most Volatile Issue in the U.S.–China Relationship Jul 19, 2017

Show notes

For more than a decade, the United States and China have been engaged in a low‐profile, high‐technology trade war that has been conducted in the name of protecting critical economic and national security infrastructure from cyber malfeasance.

Step Back: Lessons for U.S. Foreign Policy from the Failed War on Terror Jun 27, 2017

Show notes

In the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States launched an international war on terrorism defined by military intervention, nation building, and efforts to reshape the politics of the Middle East. As of 2017, however, it has become clear that the American strategy has destabilized the Middle East while doing little to protect the United States from terrorism.
