Mark Brzezinski: The U.S., Poland and the Heart of Europe
In 1991–93, Mark Brzezinski was a Fulbright Scholar in newly post-communist Poland. Thirty years later he returned as the U.S. ambassador to Poland, a country embedded in the EU and NATO, and an ally deeply involved in providing support for Ukraine following Russia’s invasion of that country.
Join us for an in-depth conversation with Brzezinski about Poland, Vladimir Putin, Ukraine, Germany, the European Union and more.
Mark Brzezinski has worked in the private sector and in government positions. He previously was U.S. ambassador to Sweden, served on President Clinton’s National Security Council staff, worked in the law and capital management industries. He will be in conversation with Abraham Sofaer, the George P. Shultz Fellow in Foreign Policy and National Security Affairs, Emeritus.
