American foreign policy since 9/11 has been driven by an ideology that reflects the worldview of a group of advisors identified as the Neo-Conservatives. From the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian battle, their worldview has left a tremendous impact on American foreign policy. They have redefined America’s traditional role in the world as well as its historical relations with its European allies. Their policies have also established a very controversial role for America, one that has brought much world criticism relative to our newly defined leadership responsibilities for the world. Mr. Clarke, as a European foreign policy expert, has a unique perspective on what this shift in policy has had on America, its allies and world security including Terrorism.
Mr. Clarke’s latest book (co-authored with Stefan Halper) is America Alone: The Neo-Conservatives and the Global Order (Cambridge University Press, June 2004). Jonathan Clarke is resident in Washington DC where he a writer, lecturer, and consultant on international issues. Since 2001 he has been the US representative of Hakluyt and Company, an international political and economic consulting firm. He is a Fellow at the Cato Institute, Washington, D.C. He has also been a scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Washington, D.C. |
