Robert Kagan (born September 26, 1958 in Athens, Greece) is an American historian, author and foreign policy commentator at the Brookings Institution. He is a co-founder of the now-defunct political organization Project for the New American Century.[1][2] More recently, his book The World America Made has been publicly endorsed by US President Barack Obama, and its theme was referenced in his 2012 State of the Union Address.[3]

CareerIn 1983, Robert Kagan was foreign policy advisor to New York Representative Jack Kemp. Between 1984 and 1986, he worked at the State Department Policy Planning Staff and was a speechwriter for Secretary of State George P. Shultz. From 1986 to 1988, he served in the Bureau of Inter-American Affairs at the State Department.[citation needed] In 1997 he co-founded and served as a director for the now-defunct Project for the New American Century.[1][2][5]

Kagan has been described as a neoconservative foreign-policy theorist,[6][7][8] although Kagan adamantly rejects being labeled as a "neoconservative".[9] Kagan describes his foreign-policy views as deeply rooted in American history and widely shared by Americans.[10]

Kagan spent 13 years as a Senior Associate with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, before joining the Brookings Institution as a senior fellow in the Center on United States and Europe in September 2010.[11][12][13][14][15] He was a foreign policy advisor to John McCain, the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2008 election.[16][17]

He also serves on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Foreign Affairs Policy Board.[18] He served on the board of directors for The Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI)[19] and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.[20]
