John O'Sullivan Joins Hudson Institute

John O'Sullivan, the noted analyst of international affairs, has joined Hudson Institute as a senior fellow and director of a new policy program, the Center for European Studies. Under O'Sullivan's guidance, the center will provide original analysis of the future of Europe, focused on defense and foreign policy as well as economic affairs.

"John O'Sullivan is an original thinker with broad knowledge and contacts. Thanks to John, Hudson will be a prominent participant in the debate over the future of Europe," said Hudson Institute President Herb London.

O'Sullivan is also editor-at-large of National Review where he served as editor-in-chief for nine years. He was editor of the distinguished foreign policy quarterly, the National Interest, from 2003 to 2005 and editor-in-chief of United Press International from 2000 to 2003.

His previous posts have included special adviser to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, associate editor of the London Times, assistant editor of the London Daily Telegraph, and editor of Policy Review.

O'Sullivan is the founder and co-chairman of the New Atlantic Initiative, an international bipartisan effort dedicated to reinvigorating and expanding the Atlantic community of democracies. The NAI was formally launched at the Congress of Prague in May 1996 by President Vaclav Havel and Lady Thatcher.

He has published articles in Encounter, Commentary, Prospect, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Policy Review, the American Spectator, the Spectator (London), Quadrant, Hibernia and other journals.

He is on the Advisory Council of the Social Affairs Unit London, and the Honorary Board of the Civic Institute in Prague. He was made a Commander of the British Empire (C.B.E.) in the 1991 New Year's Honors List and he lectures on British and American politics.
