Stanley Hoffman, a Harvard professor and foreign policy commentator, called for a “radical change in the emphasis and usage of power” in U.S. foreign policy, during a public address delivered in Robertson Hall Thursday afternoon, October 15.

Hoffman’s speech was titled “U.S. Foreign Policy, Past and Future,” and was the third in as many days as a part of the Richard Ullman Lecture Series, co-sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School and Princeton University Press.

“We need to abandon unilateralism on the stage,” Hoffman said during his Thursday speech. “We need to create zones of multilateral action.”

With regard to the military, Hoffman said the U.S. needs to lower the numbers of nuclear weapons, avoid foreign deployments and “create a regime of controllable materials.”
