Professor John Mearsheimer has trained generations of foreign policy professionals in the principles of realism, including on the perils of American primacy, military interventions, and NATO alliance expansion. His brilliance as an educator is surpassed only by his prowess as a public communicator. He has reached millions this year and brought his clear analysis to the wider debate over the US role in the world at a critical time. 

For these reasons, the Quincy Institute is proud to present John Mearsheimer with this year’s Quincy Award for Responsible Statecraft. In lieu of a public speech, he will be in conversation with Krystal Ball, co-host of Breaking Points, for a wide-ranging discussion on US foreign policy and the state of the world. 

The audience will be able to ask questions, with a reception to follow.*

We hope you will join us. RSVP required by Monday, November 30. Please plan to arrive by 1:50 ET.

*This event is intended to qualify as a widely-attended event under applicable House and Senate ethics rules.
