Robert Kagan, born on September twenty-sixth, nineteen fifty-eight, is a prominent American political scientist, writer, and historian. Renowned for his neoconservative views, Kagan has made significant contributions to the discourse on U.S. foreign policy, advocating for liberal internationalism while also critiquing the nation's approach to global affairs.
A co-founder of the influential Project for the New American Century, Kagan serves as a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. His expertise has made him a sought-after foreign policy adviser, providing guidance to both Republican presidential candidates and Democratic administrations through the Foreign Affairs Policy Board.
In addition to his advisory roles, Kagan has shared his insights with a broader audience as a columnist, writing a monthly piece on world affairs for The Washington Post. His political journey took a notable turn during the twenty-sixteen U.S. presidential election campaign when he left the Republican Party in response to Donald Trump's nomination, subsequently endorsing Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton for president.
