I thought I’d take a break from our focus on rebuilding America through more powerful state and Local Government and talk about US Foreign Policy. Foreign policy is one of the few enumerated powers our Constitution gives to the federal government. After WW2, The United States emerged as THE preeminent superpower as its military guaranteed free and open sea lanes and relative peace on the planet, in exchange making the US dollar the global reserve currency.
For 75 years the world has lived in a Pax Americana where global domestic product has increase by 20 times in that tenure. However, now this peace seems to be under threat as some countries are becoming more reluctant to cede more of their sovereignty to global institutions, and China is challenging the US as the preeminent super-power.
Today I have someone with the experience to help us sort this all out. Retired US Diplomat, David Hunter served in South Korea (1992-96), India (1996-99), Ukraine (1999-2000), Pakistan (2001-02) and Spain (2003-04). In 1983 he was a Visiting Fellow at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), Johns Hopkins University. He published a book in 1991 "Western Trade Pressure on the Soviet Union. He holds a Masters Degree in International Relations from the London School of Economics , an MBA from the Crummer School, and a BA from Emory University.
