Stuart Eizenstat: How Global Forces are Impacting the Jewish People, Israel and Its Relationship with the U.S.
September 30, 2013
Former ambassador and author Stuart Eizenstat presented his provocative analysis on how major geopolitical, economic, and security challenges are reshaping the Jewish world and its relationship with the United States. The event was held at the Bob Graham Center on Monday, Sept. 30 at 6 p.m. in Pugh Hall, and was followed by a book signing.
During a decade and a half of public service in three US administrations, Ambassador Eizenstat held a number of key senior positions, including chief White House domestic policy adviser to President Jimmy Carter (1977-1981); U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade, Under Secretary of State for Economic, Business and Agricultural Affairs, and Deputy Secretary of the Treasury in the Clinton Administration (1993-2001).
Eizenstat’s latest book, The Future of the Jews, traces how shifting global power away from the United States and Europe to the emerging powers in Asia and Latin America poses particular challenges for the Jewish community, and raises particular issues for the relationship between Israel and the U.S.
The event was sponsored by the Bob Graham Center, the Department of Political Science, and the Center for Jewish Studies.
