In this episode of Horns of a Dilemma, Will Inboden, executive director of the Clements Center at the University of Texas at Austin, sits down with Jim Golby, senior fellow at the Clements Center, to discuss the similarities and differences in foreign policy between a second Trump administration or a Biden administration. Their conversation covers a variety of foreign policy topics as well as discovering differences in process, personality, and procedure between the two potential administrations.
Graduate fellow, Daniel Samet, encourages a clear position on communism in the U.S. power competition with China in his new article for The Bulwark.
Clements Center Executive Director Will Inboden discusses the role of the National Security Council in U.S. Foreign Policy for The Hopkins Podcast on Foreign Affairs (POFA), an entirely student run Podcast at Johns Hopkins University founded in 2017.
In Financial Times "China’s great power play puts Asia on edge" authored by James Kynge in Hong Kong, Kathrin Hille in Taipei, Christian Shepherd in Beijing and Amy Kazmin in New Delhi, Clements Center Faculty Fellow Sheena Greitens notes that “China’s foreign policy is increasingly a reflection of the attempt to seek regime security . . . at home.”
In the latest episode of Horns of Dilemma, Will Inboden, editor-in-chief of the Texas National Security Review, and Ashlyn Hand, a Ph.D. candidate at the LBJ School at the University of Texas at Austin, speak with Lauren Turek, a professor at Trinity University, about her new book, To Bring the Good News to All Nations: Evangelical Influence on Human Right on US Foreign Relations.
American foreign policy has often had a strong religious component, whether that be in the form of manifest destiny, or in the idea of American exceptionalism. But as Turek documents, in the late 20th century, the specific notion of human rights intersected with evangelical missionaries and their perceptions of the risks associated with communism and other important foreign policy questions, and were able to organize and influence U.S. foreign policy in a new and important way.
