The Executive Abroad: Presidential Power and the U.S. Role in the World

Description

How do presidents shape foreign policy, and what constrains their choices? Sebastian Schmidt, associate professor of political science at Johns Hopkins University, will examine the evolution—and growth—of executive power in foreign affairs. He'll be joined by Kristin Wells, former attorney for U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs, USAID, and the Peace Corps, for a conversation moderated by Mary Bruce, assistant director of public programs, of the Johns Hopkins SNF Agora Institute. They'll illuminate the historical patterns of executive authority in foreign affairs and implications for contemporary challenges.

This event is part of the "First 100 Days, From Home to Abroad" series, examining the effects of U.S. presidential leadership across the U.S. and beyond, in partnership with the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins as well as the SNF Paideia Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the SNF Ithaca Initiative of the University of Delaware's Joseph R. Biden Jr. School of Public Policy & Administration.
