Dr. Jaehan Park, the 2021-22 Albritton Center for Grand Strategy (CGS) Postdoctoral Fellow, presented “The United States in the Asia-Pacific, 1895-1905: The Limits of a Rising Power” at the 117th Annual Meeting and Exhibition of the American Political Science Association (APSA) recently. The paper Park presented examines the record of American diplomacy during the critical decade demarcated by the Sino-Japanese War (1894-95) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05) by focusing on how geography, logistics, and path-dependence limited policymakers’ options.
The Albritton Center for Grand Strategy (CGS) serves as an intellectual hub for the critical examination of American grand strategy. Specifically, the Center supports research that takes a fresh look at America’s grand strategic choices; fosters dialogue between scholars and practitioners; and helps prepare a new generation of public servants who will be grand strategic thinkers.
