Ambassador Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, will present the George Herbert Walker, Jr. Lecture in International Studies on Thursday, Jan. 29.
His talk, "Rethinking Sovereignty" will take place at 4 p.m. in Luce Hall auditorium, 34 Hillhouse Ave. It is sponsored by the Yale Center for International and Area Studies (YCIAS), and is free and open to the public.
Renowned for his work as a behind-the-scenes statesman, Haass was principal adviser to Secretary of State Colin Powell for nearly three years. Prior to that he served as U.S. coordinator for policy toward the future of Afghanistan and was the lead U.S. official in support of the Northern Ireland peace process.
From 1989 to 1993, Haass was special assistant to President George H.W. Bush and senior director for Near East and South Asian affairs on the staff of the National Security Council. He has authored nine books on American foreign policy, including "The Reluctant Sheriff: The United States after the Cold War" and "Intervention: The Use of American Military Force in the Post-Cold War World."
George Herbert Walker III established this lecture series in 1986 in memory of his father, a graduate of the Yale Class of 1927. Previous speakers in the series have included such noted figures as Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Madeleine Albright, Brent Scowcroft and James Baker III.
