Become a Hailston Researcher
As new challenges arise internationally to American influence, a new cadre of intellectuals must emerge to lead American strategy into the new age of foreign policy. The Hailston Research Group aims to fill this gap by taking rising stars from the international relations field and establishing a relationship between them and principles with decades of practical experience and academic contributions to the field. Under Admiral Hailston’s tutelage, the group aims to pass down the collective experience of a generation of foreign policy professionals to the new generation of American thinkers and leaders in order to better prepare them for new challenges to American power across the globe.
