One of Hulsman’s strengths is his ability to provide cutting edge analysis on the broadest range of foreign policy topics. In the tradition of the grand old school of geopolitical thinkers capable of linking seemingly disparate events across continents to create a coherent world view, Hulsman has begun to make sense of the new era. Whether the topic be the horrible effect of neoconservatism upon American foreign policy, transatlantic relations and their discontents, the current crisis in Iraq, the coming crisis in Iran, the endless crisis between Israel and the rest of the Middle East, Hulsman combines an expert eye and one thing more – the ability to understand and explain the links between these titanic problems.

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.

Let us hope that Republicans ignore him. ...
