The Clements Center Remembers Henry Kissinger

The Clements Center honors Henry Kissinger for his contributions to national security, diplomacy, and U.S. history. He served as a devoted public servant, leading scholar and practitioner of foreign affairs, and a helpful confidant to administrations of both parties. Over the course of a long career, he shaped and participated in a variety of momentous occasions, many that still positively affect us today. We are especially grateful to Secretary Kissinger for his gracious contribution to the Clements Center as a member of our original Statecraft Board in 2013.

“It’s important to learn that American politics and resources have to be applied in terms of a strategy and not simply in reaction to immediate events.”
