The Series

Recent U.S. Government policy choices have far-reaching implications for both the U.S. and the rest of the global community. The Earth Institute at Columbia University continues its new series, Critical Lectures in American Foreign Policy, where highly distinguished scholars challenge prevailing assumptions and conventional wisdom of U.S. foreign policy actions.
