The Strategy Sessions is a limited-run podcast hosted by Emma Ashford, a senior fellow with the Reimagining US Grand Strategy Program at the Stimson Center. Today, Emma talks with Sumantra Maitra, a senior writer and director of research at the American Conservative Magazine. They discuss what the future of burden sharing looks like for Europeans, what might be in store for American alliances writ-large, and how the United States should view its interests in Europe.
Emma and Sumantra’s discussion is part of the New Visions for Grand Strategy Project, a collection of essays, videos, and podcasts in which out-of-the box thinkers discuss the future of U.S. foreign policy.
*The Strategy Sessions Podcast is hosted by the Stimson Center and produced by University FM.
