Manshel Lecture with Walter Russell Mead

All Manshel Lecture events are open to the public.

The Warren and Anita Manshel Lecture in American Foreign Policy was established at the Center for International Affairs in 1993 by members of the Manshel family and by many of their friends. It stands as a memorial to the Manshels’ longstanding commitment to public affairs and their desire to advance greater understanding of the international relations of the United States. The lecture series honors Warren Manshel’s role as a founder of both The Public Interest and Foreign Policy, his service as ambassador to Denmark, and his deep involvement over many years in the work of the Center. It also serves to recognize Anita Manshel as Warren’s full partner and enthusiastic supporter in these endeavors, which he so often acknowledged.

Visit the Weatherhead Center YouTube channel to view videos from the Warren and Anita Manshel Lecture in American Foreign Policy and more. All Manshel Lecture Series videos can be found in its lecture series playlist.
