==== Dr. Suri will be guest host for days Three through Five will cover the end of the Cold War through the present day. I define "international history" broadly. My research examines the interactions between states, peoples, and cultures -- especially in the twentieth century. I am interested in the decisions of leaders and institutions, as well as the influence of ideas and social movements. Through multiarchival research I hope to "globalize" our understanding of relations among societies and America's often contested place in the world. My teaching applies this international approach to the history of American foreign relations since the eighteenth century (History 433 and 434), the global upheavals of the 1960s (History 600), great power relations since 1815 (History 901), the global history of the Cold War (History 753), and the history of imperialism (History 703). ====
 * Day Five ** : [|Dr Jeremi Suri,] is the E. Gordon Fox Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is the author of three major books on the history of foreign policy, most recently, //Henry Kissinger and the American Century// (Harvard University Press.) Professor Suri also writes frequently for scholarly journals, popular magazines, and newspapers. He is a frequent blogger and foreign policy commentator on radio and television.

Articles and Links:
====The first is Sr. Suri's article from a recent issue of the American Historical Review. It traces the international movements of the late 1960s and their effects on foreign policy to the present. See: []====

====The second article is a piece on the foreign policies of George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Here is the Abstract: Grand strategy is about making sense of complexity; it is the wisdom to make power serve useful purposes. After the end of the Cold War, American policy-makers sought to create a new grand strategy for the United States, but they failed in this endeavor. They failed because of difficult domestic and international circumstances. They also failed because of conceptual limitations. This article traces the efforts at strategy formulation in the administrations of George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, and it analyzes their shortcomings. Bush had process without purpose; Clinton had purpose without process. The article encourages readers to think about how future strategists might improve upon this legacy with clearer and more disciplined attention to priorities, capabilities, and trade-offs. Making grand strategy in a democracy is not easy, but it is necessary. The absence of effective grand strategy in the 1990s contributed to the crises of the early twenty-first century. ====

This piece will appear in the journal Orbis this fall. Please find the a copy of the manuscript attached here: [[file:Cold War to 9 11.doc]]
