- **Event Name**: What World Leaders Forget About World Politics
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 12 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Why do even the most powerful leaders make decisions that seem to ignore history, human nature, or hard-earned lessons of the past? What blind spots repeatedly shape foreign policy—and what do they mean for the rest of us?

Join us for a thought-provoking moderated Q&amp;A with Stephen M. Walt, one of the world’s leading scholars of international relations, as he unpacks the enduring truths of world politics that leaders too often overlook. Drawing on decades of research and real-world examples, Walt will challenge common assumptions about power, alliances, and global leadership—offering clear insights into why good intentions so often lead to unintended consequences.

This timely conversation will move beyond headlines to explore the deeper forces shaping today’s global landscape, from great-power competition to regional conflicts and shifting alliances. Most importantly, it will help participants better understand how decisions made at the highest levels of government ripple outward, affecting everyday lives around the world.

Whether you closely follow international affairs or simply want to make sense of a rapidly changing world, this event offers a rare opportunity to hear from a leading thinker and engage directly through audience Q&amp;A.

A light reception will follow the discussion for in-person participants.
