FELLOWS
Diplomacy is a vital resource for the United States and other countries in our increasingly globalized world. At a time when most of the major challenges facing the international community cannot be resolved by military force, nations will need to rely more on their ability to negotiate, communicate and resolve differences through diplomacy.
We want the Kennedy School to make Diplomacy a greater focus of its teaching and research. There are, in fact, few American universities that have focused on the study and practice of diplomacy. Our mission should be to make the Kennedy School the premier place for the study of diplomacy in the United States.
Our first Fellow, former American diplomat, Marc Grossman, will spend the Spring 2010 Semester writing a book on the utility of modern diplomacy under the auspices of the Future of Diplomacy Project.
