Authors of new foreign policy book to give free talk
Stanford's Stephen Stedman, New York University's Bruce Jones and Carlos Pascual of the Brookings Institution will discuss their new book, Power and Responsibility: Building International Order in an Era of Transnational Threats, at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 17.
The event, hosted by the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at the Bechtel Conference Center in Encina Hall, is free and open to the public.
Power and Responsibility provides the conceptual underpinnings for a new approach to sovereignty and cooperation in the 21st century. Stedman, Jones and Pascual contend that the "national sovereignty" of the 20th century must give way to "responsible sovereignty"—a principle requiring nations not only to protect their own people but also to cooperate across borders to safeguard common resources and tackle common threats.
Stedman is a senior fellow at Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC). Jones is director of NYU's Center on International Cooperation and a consulting professor at CISAC. Pascual is director of foreign policy at Brookings.
