Walter Russell Mead




In 2001, Mead published "Special Providence: American Foreign Policy and How it Changed the World". It won the Lionel Gelber Award for the best book in English on International Relations in 2002. The Italian translation won the Premio Acqui Storia awarded to the most important historical book published. "Special Providence" describes the four main guiding philosophies which have influenced (and still do) the formation of American Foreign policy in history. These schools are: the Hamiltonians, the Wilsonians, the Jeffersonians and the Jacksonians.

Walter Mead is currently working on a book discussing the influence of religion on the American foreign policy. The book is tentatively titled ''Is God on Our Side?''

Mr. Mead regularly writes for several journals, magazines and newspapers such as Foreign Affairs , The New Yorker , and Wall Street Journal . He is currently on the staff of Foreign Affairs as a book reviewer and on the editorial board of The American Interest.

In addition to his position at the Council, Walter Mead currently teaches American Foreign policy (past and present) at Bard College (Annandale-on-Hudson, NY).
