On February 6, 2020, the Clements Center for National Security in partnership with the Texas A&M Albritton Center for Grand Strategy, Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at Johns Hopkins and the Duke University Program in American Grand Strategy hosted a conference on “Restraint and National Security.” The conference explored the intent, the causes, and the consequences of restraint in foreign engagement in the course of American history. Professor John Schuessler gave a keynote address, “Offshore Balancing: Revisiting the World War II Case”, Professor Jeongseok Lee presented his work on restraint, SEATO and China, and BG(ret) Kim Field gave the closing remarks, “Reflections in View of the Practice of Strategy.” Importantly, six students attended the conference and participated robustly with great questions throughout the day.
