May 19, 2008 Strobe Talbott shares his vision of world governance with Wright State Wright State University welcomes Strobe Talbott, president of the Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public policy organization based in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, May 21, 2008, in the Raj Soin College of Business dean's conference room in Rike Hall.Talbott, whose career spans journalism, government service and academe, is an expert on U.S. foreign policy, with specialties on Europe, Russia, South Asia and nuclear arms control. As deputy secretary of state in the Clinton administration, Talbott was deeply involved in both the conduct of U.S. policy abroad and the management of executive branch relations with Congress. Talbott entered government after 21 years as a journalist for TIME. His last position there was the magazine's editor-at-large and foreign affairs columnist. The author of The Great Experiment: The Story of Ancient Empires, Modern States, and the Quest for a Global Nation, Talbott has written the "saga of how the most ambitious of big ideas—that a world made up of many nations can govern itself peacefully—has played out over the millennia. Humankind's "Great Experiment" goes back to the most ancient of days—literally to the Garden of Eden—and into the present, with an eye to the future." According to the Brookings Institution's Web site, "Talbott interweaves through this epic tale personal insights and experiences and takes us with him behind the scenes and into the presence of world leaders as they square off or cut deals with each other." While in Dayton, his hometown, Talbott is hosted by the newly founded Center for Global Business Education and Research in the Raj Soin College of Business, and will meet with the college's advisory board members and friends of the college at a private reception.
