Dr. Hulsman’s most recent book, > Ethical Realism: A Vision for America’s Role in the World (written with Anatol Lieven), was published by Pantheon Press in September 2006. It has been a best seller among international relations works in America (a second paperback edition is due out at the end of 2007), where it has been very favorably reviewed in The Atlantic Monthly, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The Spectator. Foreign Policy decision makers as far afield as former Senator Gary Hart, former National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft, and Presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton have all lawished praise on the book. Indeed, an article in The Washington Post went so far as to say that the book, ‘is leading the race to assume the mantle of George Kennan in the post-Cold War era.’ Having written one of the most important foreign policy books of the past several years, Hulsman is hard at work on his new project, Lawrence of Arabia and the Perils of Nation Building.

America today faces a world more complicated than ever before, but both political parties have failed to envision a foreign policy that addresses our greatest threats. As a result, the United States risks lurching from crisis to crisis. The Bush administration's foreign policy strategy is bankrupt, but the Democrats are not providing any real alternatives.
Ethical Realism presents such an alternative, including both a new philosophical basis and a coherent set of detailed, practical and courageous policy recommendations. Anatol Lieven and John Hulsman, two distinguished policy experts from different political camps, have joined forces to write an impassioned manifesto that illuminates a new way forward.

At a time when public opposition to joining the euro is increasing and a debate is emerging about the long term costs and benefits of Britain's membership of the EU, this paper presents a timely solution to Britain's somewhat strained relationship with the EU. Dr John C Hulsman, a senior policy analyst at the Washington-based Heritage Foundation, presents a compelling case for the advancement of Britain's trade interests through UK participation in a global free trade association. This would permit Britain to gain the benefits of freer trade whilst avoiding a constant battle with EU partners over ever-closer integration.
