Fri. 2 pm – “Parsing the Isolationist Path” – Dr. Charles Kupchan, joins Leigh this week in a follow-up conversation of his Savannah Council on World Affairs presentation. 09/24/2021.

and to discuss his book Isolationism: A History of America’s Efforts to Shield Itself from the World. Isolationism has long been “a part of America’s creed,” despite eighty years of international commitments and entanglements. Why are we now returning to it, and what does this mean for the United States’ role in an increasingly global world?

A senior fellow with the Council on Foreign Relations, a professor of international affairs at Georgetown University, and a former member of Obama’s and Clinton’s National Security Councils, Dr. Kupchan predicts that a “transatlantic rebalancing” and a “strategic retrenchment is coming; the question is whether it occurs by design or default.”  Listen live on WRUU 107.5 FM in Savannah and globally @wruu.org.
