DESCRIPTION:The Moynihan Institute’s Practice of Global Politics Seminar se
 ries presents Anka Lee\, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for 
 East Asia.What is certain in global affairs is that we are now at the end 
 of an era. What is less certain is what will come next. The Trump administ
 ration has upended decades of American foreign affairs—tariffing friends w
 hile resetting ties with strategic competitors. The long-standing assumpti
 on of having a bloc of democracies to counterbalance China's authoritarian
  vision for the world has given way to a transactional approach that sees 
 Beijing as another deal to be achieved. Have we given up on strategic comp
 etition? What's the next move for our closest allies and partners still an
 xious about Beijing but distanced from Washington? Regardless of who wins 
 in 2028\, how should a new generation of American leaders manage this evol
 ved and evolving assumption about Washington's motivation and its role in 
 the world? Anka Lee is a national security expert with over two decades of
  experience leading large teams\, including as deputy assistant secretary 
 of defense for East Asia at the Pentagon\, USAID deputy assistant administ
 rator for multilateral affairs\, and international policy director at the 
 California State Assembly. He is a founding partner at the strategic consu
 lting firm Scalare Advisors\; distinguished fellow at the Wilson Center\; 
 and a senior advisor at DGA Group and Special Competitive Studies Project.
  He has written for and appeared on The Atlantic\, Bloomberg\, The Diploma
 t\, Just Security\, Foreign Policy\, NBC\, Newsweek\, POLITICO\, Time\, an
 d San Francisco Chronicle. Anka began his career as a print and broadcast 
 journalist in San Francisco and in California policy and politics. He was 
 educated at UC Berkeley\, Sacramento State\, and Harvard University.
