On March 3rd, please join Kurt Campbell, former Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs during the Obama Administration, and Hudson Institute Distinguished Fellow Walter Russell Mead for a discussion on U.S. foreign policy and America’s role in the world.

Dr. Campbell served in several government positions, including Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Asia and the Pacific, Director on the National Security Council staff, and Deputy Special Counselor to the president for NAFTA. He also served as a U.S. Navy Reserve officer on surface ships, the Joint Staff, and in the Chief of Naval Operations Strategic Advisory Unit.
