What Will Biden’s Foreign Policy Look Like? (Prof. Charles Krupchan, Ex-Special Adviser to Obama)

We speak to Professor Charles Kupchan, author of ‘Isolationism: A History of America’s Efforts To Shield Itself From The World’, former Special Advisor to President Barack Obama (2014-2017) and President Obama’s and President Clinton’s National Security Council Director for European Affairs. He discusses the isolationist tradition in American foreign policy history and how it has risen and fallen over the years, Donald Trump’s return to a form of isolationism with ‘America First’, the struggle for the United States to strike a middle ground between interventionist and isolationist, what Joe Biden’s foreign policy is likely to look like and whether it will be more of the same of Barack Obama’s regime change foreign policy, how Joe Biden’s relationship will be with the U.K. and EU, whether there are any hopes for better relations with Russia, the perspective from the global south that the United States is not fit to lead and more!
