Policy Certificate Program: Europe on the Global Chessboard
The Hudson Institute Political Studies Policy Certificate Program gathers talented early career professionals for advanced study of American foreign and domestic policy, and national security led by policy experts and experienced government officials.
Successful policy solutions combine strategic vision with nuanced understanding of complex problems. To this end, each of Hudson’s policy certification workshops covers a distinct region or topic ranging from military strategy and technology to energy security and criminal justice reform. Through rigorous engagement with the theory and practice of strategic policy planning, the program instills certificate candidates with practical knowledge of today’s most critical policy areas. Workshops are led by experts at Hudson Institute. The Program is fully funded and takes place in Washington, D.C., Thursday-Saturday during select weeks.
Europe on the Global Chessboard Workshop
For the first time in six hundred years, Europe no longer sits alone at the center of global affairs. Asia is rising. And yet, Ukraine is where the struggle over the future of international order is taking place. This is forcing American policymakers to grapple with a shift in the global distribution of power at the same time as it faces a major war in Europe. These calculations are made only more complicated by the paradox of Europe: an economic superpower is simultaneously a military dwarf. This workshop examines European power, the transatlantic alliance, and the future of U.S.-European ties in the context of a rising China and Russia at war.
