SUMMARY:Munich Dialogues on Democracy with Robert B. Zoellick
DESCRIPTION:America in the World\n\nU.S Diplomacy and Foreign Policy Past\,
  Present and Future\n\nAfter watching former U.S. President Donald Trump t
 urn his back on alliances\, the international order\, free trade\, and hum
 an rights\, it’s tempting to view his foreign policy as an aberration.\n
 \nIn his highly acclaimed new book\, Robert B. Zoellick suggests that the 
 United States’ engagement with the world has always been a bit chaotic\,
  a dance between two conflicting charges: the continent-sized pull of the 
 ongoing national experiment and the belief that American exceptionalism ca
 n remake the world.\n\nUsing examples from Franklin\, Hamilton\, Lincoln a
 nd Roosevelt\, Zoellick calls for a return to pragmatic leadership that do
 esn’t lose sight of higher principles and the value of alliances. He fur
 thers his message including central contributions of four men who are now 
 lesser known: Charles Evans Hughes for originating successful arms control
 \, Elihu Root for international law\, Cordell Hull for open trade\, and Va
 nnevar Bush for the centrality of science and technology to the U.S. globa
 l outlook.\n\nZoellick comes to us to make a strong case that the story of
  the past can help us make the future better.\n\nRobert B. Zoellick has s
 erved as Deputy Secretary\, Under Secretary\, and Counselor of the State D
 epartment\; Ambassador and U.S. Trade Representative\; Counselor to the Se
 cretary of the Treasury\; Deputy Chief of Staff at the White House\; and P
 resident of the World Bank.  His experience spans six U.S. Presidencies-d
 uring the Cold War\, in its closing chapter\, and into the first decades o
 f the 21stCentury. Zoellick is now a Senior Fellow at the Belfer Center fo
 r Science and International Affairs at Harvard University's Kennedy School
  of Government\, where he contributes to the "Applied History" project. He
  published his book\, America in the World: A History of US Diplomacy and 
 Foreign Policy in August 2020.\n\n“AMERICA IN THE WORLD” is a highly a
 ccessible and engaging history of U.S. diplomacy written by one of the cou
 ntry’s smartest and most capable foreign policy practitioners. Robert Zo
 ellick understands better than most how inseparable America’s fate is fr
 om the rest of the world\, and that timely lesson shines through the pages
  of this book.”\n\n– Former Secretary of State MADELEINE ALBRIGHT\n\n
 “An outstanding history of U.S. foreign policy by one of its leading pra
 ctitioners. Zoellick grasps the essence of the debates over America’s ro
 le in the world and shows the constant interaction between global developm
 ents and the approaches of U.S. policymakers. It is a diplomatic history f
 or the 21st century\, grounded in the practical lessons of centuries past.
 ”\n\n– O.A. WESTAD\, Yale University\, author of The Cold War: A World
  History\n\nModerator Claire Berlinski is an author and journalist based i
