War Intellectuals, Democracy, and Hans Speier (a WIRN webinar)
Monday, May 5, 2025 8:00 PM – 9:30 PM ET
An interview of Professor Daniel Bessner, author of the book Democracy in Exile: Hans Speier and the Rise of the Defense Intellectual. Who was Hans Speier anyway, and why is he important? Who determines U.S. foreign policy? Is there much democratic input? We cover the role of expertise in crafting U.S. foreign policy, and what today’s warfare state looks like. We will explore what a humane foreign policy might consist of (and more!) in this timely webinar.
