What President Biden can learn from the American experience with the Greek Revolution of 1821

In a recent piece in the Washington Monthly, Paul Glastris explores how American popular support for the Greek revolution sparked a debate in the US over the balance between realism and idealism in American foreign policy. He argues that the need to find the balance between principle and practicality in foreign policy is as great today as it was 200 years ago, pointing out that there are a number of lessons from 1821 that President Biden should take into account when formulating its own foreign policy doctrine. 

Paul Glastris, the editor in chief of the Washington Monthly who is also currently writing a book on America’s involvement in the Greek War of Independence, joins our podcast to talk about his latest piece.

Cyprus: 52 years of occupation, of peace efforts, and of the fight for justice
