As the Israel-Hamas war continues, many people are still left with questions and confusion over the region and what's behind the war. To help explain, on this week's episode we are talking with someone who has actually tried to negotiate peace in the Middle East. Dr. Bruce Jentleson is a professor at Duke University, but he's had two stints in the U.S. State Department under former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. During our discussion, we'll focus on the backstory, why Americans should care and where it might go from here.

A book talk with Bruce Jentleson, Professor of Public Policy and Political Science, Duke University

Before Russia invaded Ukraine the United States and its European allies signaled strongly that they would impose crushing sanctions if Russia, indeed, invaded. Russia invaded anyway. The threat of sanctions were not a deterrent.  After surprisingly heavy sanctions were imposed, Russia did not moderate its behavior and cease its attack. Just the opposite. The imposition of sanctions were not, therefore what is known in International Relations speak, a means of compellence. So what have the sanctions accomplished? And why might these sanctions and countermeasures by Russia be leading to a war of economic attrition between Russia and the West? To answer these questions, we are joined by Bruce Jentleson, a professor of political science at Duke University former senior state department official, and author of the new book  Sanctions: What Everyone Needs to Know.

In this edition of Wilson Center NOW, we are joined by Bruce Jentleson, the William Preston Few Distinguished Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Political Science, Duke University. He discusses his new book, Sanctions: What Everyone Needs to Know, a “concise, authoritative overview of a little-understood yet extremely important phenomenon in world politics: the use of economic sanctions by one country to punish another.”

Russia has invaded Ukraine. In response, President Biden has promised that the U.S. will impose “severe sanctions” against Russia for its actions. But what are sanctions exactly? How do they work? Do they have a history of working? Do they work well? Bruce Jentleson is a former State Department official. He has held numerous senior foreign policy positions in past U.S. administrations. He's a professor at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University, and his new book is called Sanctions: What Everyone Needs to Know. Get show notes, transcript and credits

In this edition of Wilson Center NOW we are joined by Bruce Jentleson, Professor of Public Policy and Political Science, Sanford School of Public Policy, Duke University and Wilson Center Global Fellow. He discusses how COVID-19 is further straining an already weakened liberal international order and examines how the Trump administration’s response compares with other nations.

In late March President Trump said he considers himself a wartime president. The fight against COVID-19 has since intensified; the number of cases in the US doubled in that time. How does Trump compare to wartime leaders of the past? Bruce Jentleson is the William Preston Few Distinguished Professor of Public Policy and Political Science at the Duke Sanford School of Public Policy. He has held positions as foreign policy advisors to politicians including Al Gore and Bill Clinton. His book is The Peacemakers, Leadership Lessons from 20th Century Statesmanship.

On this episode of The Global Cable, Perry World House's Director William Burke-White sits down with Bruce Jentleson, Professor of Public Policy and Political Science at Duke University, to discuss his book ‘The Peacemakers: Leadership Lessons from Twentieth-Century Statesmanship.'    As a seasoned scholar with extensive real-world policy experience –on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's policy planning staff, he looked for ways to prevent atrocities around the world – Jentleson brings a unique perspective to the stories of 14 people who worked for peace at different moments in the 20th Century.   Each of the book's chapters profiles a peacemaker – exploring what they set out to accomplish, what influenced them, and where they succeeded and failed. 'The Peacemakers' draws important lessons from the lives and work of yesterday's leaders that can help today's leaders.   Burke-White and Jentleson also explore some of the challenges for those trying to make peace in the twenty-first century. Any would-be peacemakers must contend with major challenges, including climate change and the United States' complex relationship with China. As a result, Burke-White and Jentleson consider whether there can ever be such a thing as a perfect peacemaker in today's dynamic world.

Recently, the City of Toronto was ‘ground zero’ for the 60th anniversary meeting of the International Studies Association (ISA). Thousands of colleagues gathered in Toronto to attend, roundtables, panels, and participate in presenting papers and receiving honors for their work on international relations. The occasion was far too ‘juicy’ to just let it pass. So, I gathered up some of my good friends to talk about the Liberal Order. This podcast includes some of my colleagues from abroad. The gathering at our ‘studio’ - actually the lounge on the second floor of the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy – included: Bruce Jentleson from Duke University, Kori Schake from the IISS in London, Arthur Stein from UCLA and Yves Tiberghien from the University of British Columbia or UBC. Briefly, Bruce is a professor of public policy and political science at Duke University. His most recent work is ‘The Peacemakers: Leadership Lessons from Twentieth Century Statesmanship’. Kori is currently the Deputy-Director General of the International Institute of Strategic Studies. Before her move to London, Kori was a research fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution. She wrote ‘Warriors and Citizens’ with now former Secretary of Defense, James Mattis and her most recent publication is ‘America vs the West: Can the Liberal World Order be Preserved’. Arthur is a professor of political science at the University of California at Los Angeles and his most well-known publication is, ‘Why Nations Cooperate’. Yves Tiberghien is a professor of political science at UBC, director emeritus of the Institute of Asian Research and currently executive director of the UBC China Council. He has written extensively on global governance especially as it pertains to the G20 and Asia. All my colleagues have thought deeply on the questions of the Liberal Order and the consequences to American foreign policy in the Age of Trump.

Bruce Jentleson is a professor of public policy and political science at Duke University, and is the recipient of the 2018 Joseph J. Kruzel Memorial Award for Distinguished Public Service from the American Political Science Association International Security Section. He is a leading scholar of American foreign policy and has served in a number of U.S. policy and political positions. From 2009 to 2011, Mr. Jentleson was a senior advisor to the U.S. State Department Policy Planning Director. He was a member of the National Security Advisory Steering Committee for President Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign. He served as a senior foreign policy advisor to Vice President Al Gore during his 2000 presidential campaign.

From the South China Sea to the DMZ, there are tensions in the world that could lead to deadly war. But two renowned political theorists believe they have the keys to conflict prevention. Paul Stares and Bruce Jentleson join this week’s Deep Dish podcast to discuss how preventative engagement can help keep global peace.

The strains on the Liberal International Order continue apace. The antagonism between President Trump and allied leaders were on full display at the recent G7 Charlevoix meeting. Though the leaders had reached consensus on the Communique, Trump subsequently withdrew the U.S. endorsement and tweeted that Prime Minister Trudeau, the host of this year’s G7 was “Very dishonest & weak.” Now the allies are meeting at the NATO Summit on July 11-12, 2018 where President Trump is likely to press his view that the allies are failing to live up to the spending commitments. Meanwhile, President Trump continues his summit dialogues with rivals. First there was the recent ‘sunny’ Singapore Summit with Chairman Kim Jung Un of the DPRK. And, President Trump is scheduled to meet with President Vladimir Putin of Russia on July 16th. With all these summits as background, I sat down with Bruce Jentleson to explore Trump’s foreign policy and its consequences for the Liberal Order. Bruce is a very well-known Professor of Public Policy at Duke University where he served as Director of the now Sanford School at Duke (2000-2005). He also served as the Henry Kissinger Chair on Foreign Policy and International Relations (2015-2016) at the Library of Congress. And he has advised officials in Washington including senior foreign policy advisor to Vice President Al Gore. I was particularly interested in sitting down with Bruce for this podcast to review with him a recent article he had written for the journal Democracy called ‘The Liberal Order is Not Coming Back: What Next?’ and for the conclusions he had reached in his examination of key international relations’ actors in his recently released book The Peace Makers: Leadership Lessons from 20th Century Statesmen’.

From America’s vantage point, Iran is a primary source of destabilizing intervention across the Middle East. But Iran, like other states, much of the time is pursuing its own interests and trying to manage what it perceives as security threats. Dina Esfandiary, a fellow at King’s College London, talks about the view from Tehran, where the nuclear deal isn’t perceived a windfall or a free lunch. She proposes some ways to better manage Iran’s fears as well as its provocations. In the second segment of this podcast, former U.S. government official and current Duke University professor Bruce W. Jentleson proposes a blueprint for a rebalanced American foreign policy. The United States has drifted away from a clear strategy based on its fundamental interests, Jentleson argues. It’s time to clean house and go back to basics. Esfandiary and Jentleson talk with TCF senior fellow Thanassis Cambanis about their contributions to the TCF project Order from Ashes: New Foundations for Security in the Middle East. Their reports, and others in this project, can be read online. Participants include: Dina Esfandiary, a CSSS fellow in the war studies department at King’s College London, and an adjunct fellow in the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ (CSIS) Middle East Programme. Bruce Jentleson,  a professor of public policy and political science at Duke University. He served as senior advisor to the State Department policy planning director from  2009–11. His book The Peacemakers: Leadership Lessons from Twentieth Century Statesmanship will be published in April. Thanassis Cambanis, a senior fellow at The Century Foundation.
