DESCRIPTION:The Moynihan Institutes Center for European Studies presents Ia
n Buruma from \;Bard College.Ian Buruma will discuss the consequences
of increasing detachment of the US from its allies\, a tendency that has b
een boosted under the Trump administration. It has become clear—to Canadia
ns\, Europeans and East Asians—that wealthy U.S. allies will have to plan
for a future in which they can no longer be dependent on US security guara
ntees. Since the Cold War\, U.S. administrations have paid less attention
to Europe\, and foreign policy in East Asia has become complicated because
of the rise of China as a more powerful rival than the Soviet Union ever
was. Will NATO survive? Will Japan revise its pacifist constitution? Will
such countries as Poland\, Japan and South Korea eventually even acquire n
uclear arms? These are some of the questions we will discuss.Ian Buruma is
the Paul W. Williams Professor of Human Rights and Journalism at Bard Col
lege and a former editor of The New York Review of Books. A Dutch-born his
torian and journalist educated in Holland and Japan\, he has written widel
y on Europe\, Asia and the United States\, including: The Wages of Guilt:

Ian Buruma will discuss the consequences of increasing detachment of the
US from its allies\, a tendency that has been boosted under the Trump admi

o longer be dependent on US security guarantees.
Since the Cold War
\, U.S. administrations have paid less attention to Europe\, and foreign p
olicy in East Asia has become complicated because of the rise of China as
a more powerful rival than the Soviet Union ever was. Will NATO survive? W
ill Japan revise its pacifist constitution? Will such countries as Poland\
, Japan and South Korea eventually even acquire nuclear arms? These are so
me of the questions we will discuss.
