Dr. Hulsman is, quite uniquely, at home in both the worlds of foreign policy analysis as well as decision making. His world class work as a public policy intellectual has been informed by his very practical career as an advisor to both governments and leading decision makers, both in Europe and the United States. Unlike so many other foreign policy professionals, for Hulsman all thinking about international relations must first work in practice, before grant theoretical insights are arrived at. This very real world approach is what separates Dr. Hulsman’s work from the norm, making him a distinctive voice on the foreign policy scene today.

Comparing the EU with a push-me-pull-you beast, political risk consultant Dr. John Hulsman predicts that the union should either go for further substantial integration and unification, or cease to exist as a geopolitical entity.
Interview on rt.com
One tired conversation that dominates most European institutions and forums threatens to become a fatal liability - distancing the EU from its partners across the Atlantic and among the new capitals that influence global decision-making in Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is Europe`s Don Quixote-like quest for `common global values.`
The search for this faux Holy Grail is preventing the global community from discovering vital common ground on the key issues that the emerging multipolar world is confronted with.

Lawrence, as much a thinker as a warrior, a man who applied his unique experiences and extensive knowledge of the Arab world to a radically different political vision for nation building in the Middle East that holds many lessons for today.

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.
