Ethical Realism: A Bi-Partisan Consensus for the 21st Century
Wednesday, July 13, 2005
12:15 pm-1:45 pm
The New America Foundation will host a discussion with Anatol Lieven, Fellow with the American Strategy Program at the New America Foundation, and John Hulsman, a Research Fellow at the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for International Studies at the Heritage Foundation. The event will be moderated National Interest Executive Editor, and Nixon Center Senior Fellow, Nikolas Gvosdev.
In the Summer 2005 issue of The National Interest, Anatol Lieven and John Hulsman examine recent foreign policy adventures through the lens of realist philosophy crafted by Hans Morgenthau and Rienhold Niebuhr. These mid-20th century realists, along with their contemporary George Kennan, understood that good intentions do not absolve policy makers of the consequences of failure. How can ethical realism deal with 21st century threats? What can contemporary policy makers learn from the theorists of a bygone era? Hulsman and Lieven will explore these and other questions.
