In 2019, U.S. policymakers find themselves in a new era where the global order is being questioned in new ways. Policymakers and scholars are reexamining basic questions about how this new era will unfold, what goals and strategies key competitors like China are pursuing, and what the U.S. government should do to help steer the course of events? In this talk, Daniel Kurtz-Phelan will draw on his work to develop expert essays on these questions for Foreign Affairs magazine, as well as his recent book "The China Mission" (Norton, 2018) which recounts George C. Marshall’s mission to create a coalition government in China in 1945, at a time when these same basic questions were again up for debate.

Daniel Kurtz-Phelan became Executive Editor of Foreign Affairs magazine in October 2017. He previously served as a member of the Secretary of State’s Policy Planning Staff and, before that, as a senior editor at the magazine. His writing has appeared in publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The New Yorker, and his narrative history of George Marshall’s post-World War II mission to China, The China Mission, was published by WW Norton in April 2018.
