Description:

The Blue Center for Global Strategic Assessment will host a keynote speech and fireside chat with Jake Sullivan, assistant to the president for national security affairs from 2021 to 2025, who will discuss the foreign policy of the Biden Administration and the dramatic shifts now occurring in the international order. Sullivan will discuss the War in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East, tension with China, and other key international events, situating them in a broader theory of America’s role in the world. His speech will provide a retrospective look on four years leading the National Security Council and advancing America’s national security interests and strategies at the highest levels of international affairs.

Prior to his time as the assistant to the president for national security affairs, Sullivan served as the National Security Advisor to then-Vice President Biden, director of the Policy Planning Staff at the U.S. Department of State, and deputy chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He is currently the inaugural Kissinger Professor of the Practice of Statecraft and World Order at the Harvard Kennedy School.

This event is open to members of the Yale community only.
