2008 Berkley Lecturer James Goldgeier in the news

Council on Foreign Relations senior fellow and 2008 IRC Berkley Lecturer James Goldgeier is quoted in the Sept. 21st edition of Newsweek. Mr. Goldgeier discusses approval of the Obama administration in Eastern Europe:

"George W. Bush was perceived as being very supportive of East Europe’s efforts to join NATO and the EU. Now the first signal being sent by the new president is that he wants to improve relations with Russia. That has Eastern Europeans thinking, what is this president all about? How will he manage Russia? Will he look out for our interests?"

To read the whole article, visit Newsweek online.

Our 2009 Berkley lecturer will take place on Dec. 4th and feature Prof. Allison Stanger, professor of international politics,
director of the Rohatyn Center for International Affairs at Middlebury College, and author of the new book, One Nation Under Contract: The Outsourcing of American Power and the Future of Foreign Policy.

The Berkley Lecture is an annual event which brings experts in foreign policy and international affairs to Kansas City. The winner of the Berkley Award for International Achievement will also be announced. To reserve your spot, visit us at the IRC website.
