Every so often there is a tectonic shift in American foreign policy—a fundamental turning point marked by radically new ways of approaching the world. The post-World War II era of institution-building and the post-9/11 global war on terrorism are examples. Has President Trump’s return ushered in one of these historic turning points? What are the most important foreign policy changes he has pursued so far? Are they likely to be temporary or long-lasting? And what are the consequences for the United States and the world community?
Case Western Reserve University School of Law’s “Talking Foreign Policy” radio show will tackle those questions with leading experts during a broadcast June 23 at 9 a.m.
The experts in this discussion will be:
- Host Michael Scharf, former co-dean of CWRU School of Law and president of the American Branch of the International Law Association;
- Harold Hongju Koh, former sean of Yale Law School who served as the legal adviser and assistant secretary of state of the U.S. Department of State;
- Oona Hathaway, Yale Law School professor and president-elect of the American Society of International Law who served as special counsel at the U.S. Department of Defense;
- Kevin Nealer, former state department official and Congressional advisor who heads the Scowcroft Group in Washington, D.C.;
- Paul Williams, president of the Public International Law & Policy Group; and
- Milena Sterio, Distinguished University Professor at Cleveland State College of Law.
“Talking Foreign Policy” is broadcast on Cleveland’s NPR Station, WKSU 89.7 FM in Cleveland, and its syndicates throughout Ohio.
Or listen anytime after it airs at the School of Law website.
