During the current presidential election, we are reminded that presidential candidates almost always campaign on domestic issues, but foreign policy issues inevitably end up commandeering the attention of the administration and determining the fate of the president.
Today, we face global conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, between Israel and Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran, and of course the challenges of China. What lessons can we learn from Reagan’s successful foreign policy that might apply to today’s challenges?
That's why IPI is hosting a conversation with Dr. Will Inboden about his recent book "The Peacemaker: Ronald Reagan, The Cold War, and the World on the Brink."
Please join us for a virtual event featuring Dr. William Inboden, Professor and Director of the Alexander Hamilton Center for Classical and Civic Education at the University of Florida, and former Executive Director of the Clements Center for National Security at the University of Texas at Austin.
"The Peacemaker" reveals how Reagan’s White House waged the Cold War while managing multiple crises around the globe. Yet no issue was greater than the Cold War standoff with the Soviet Union. As president, Reagan remade the four-decades-old policy of containment and challenged the Soviets in an arms race and ideological contest that pushed them toward economic and political collapse, all while extending an olive branch of diplomacy as he sought a peaceful end to the conflict.
