You're invited to an event hosted by the Center for The Study of Statesmanship at the Catholic University of America. The moderated discussion will be on the viability of a restraint-based U.S. foreign policy, featuring:
Quincy Institute Fellow Patrick Porter
Brookings Institution's Robert Kagan
Moderated by Kathy Gilsinan, The Atlantic
Welcome to the Jungle? Prospects for the International Order after Trump

Tuesday • February 18, 2020 • 6:00 p.m.
Center for the Study of Statesmanship
Heritage Hall, The Catholic University of America
Washington, D.C.

In his book The Jungle Grows Back ([link removed]) , Robert Kagan argues that a foreign policy of restraint would be disastrous for the United States, causing the world to revert to its normal state: a jungle, characterized by poverty, autocracy, interstate competition and even major power war.

In The False Promise of Liberal Order ([link removed]) , Patrick Porter dismisses nostalgia about the liberal order, observing that the world is too conflicted and dangerous to be ordered liberally, and that striving to convert the world to democracy will destroy it at home.

Join us for a discussion of how changing international circumstances shape our view of the past and our preferences for the future of US foreign policy.
