Andrew Preston is Professor of American History at Cambridge University and a fellow at Clare College.

He specializes in the history of American foreign relations, primarily since 1898, and he’s the author or editor of nine books. Among the most recent ones are Rethinking American Grand Strategy, edited together with Elizabeth Borgwardt and Christopher McKnight Nichols (OUP, 2021), and American Foreign Relations: A Very Short Introduction (OUP, 2019). In 2013, he also won the Charles Taylor Prize with the book Sword of the Spirit, Shield of Faith: Religion in American War and Diplomacy (Knopf).

He is currently writing a book on the idea of national security in American history as well as co-editing (with Lien-Hang Nguyen) Vol. 2 of the forthcoming three-volume Cambridge History of the Vietnam War.

In his talk, titled From Planning to Strategy: New Deal Liberalism and the Invention of National Security, he will discuss his current research project. Historians are increasingly in agreement that American "national security" is not a timeless concept or a neutral descriptor of U.S. foreign and military policies. It has a political, conceptual, and ideological history of its own that only recently has started to come to light. But where did it come from? Did it develop as a reaction to external crises, or was there something more to it? Drawing directly from a draft chapter from his forthcoming book The Invention of National Security, Preston will explain how the concept was a product of the late 1930s-early 1940s, but just as much for domestic reasons, rooted in political economy and social security, rather than as a reaction to the growing world crisis.

SAISON 32 | Le régime et le renseignement russes face à la guerre en Ukraine

Depuis 2014, la Russie nourrit un conflit militaire avec l’Ukraine qui a connu un tour nouveau en 2022 avec une invasion du territoire par le régime de Moscou. Conflit moderne en même temps qu’archaïque, la guerre en Ukraine agite les démocraties qui, au-delà de leurs alliances géopolitiques, se sentent menacées dans leur essence.

De même, conçu comme un conflit qui devait être éclair, l’engagement militaire produit des effets conséquents sur la Russie, notamment son système politique, médiatique et sécuritaire. Véritable contrepoint revendiqué des démocraties libérales (objet du séminaire Métis), il nous paraissait intéressant de s’intéresser aux voies, moyens et conséquences de ce conflit sur la Russie, son régime politique et ses services de renseignement.

Le comité de recours à l'Organisation internationale pour les réfugiés et les déplacés juifs

En 1945, plus de vingt millions de personnes sont dispersées à travers l’Europe à la suite des politiques d’extermination, de travail forcé et d’épuration ethnique conduites par l’Allemagne nazie et ses États vassaux. Dans les conditions « anormales » créées par les violences et l'incertitude de la situation d'après-guerre, cette population est au centre de l'attention des travailleurs humanitaires, des autorités d'occupation, et des nouvelles institutions internationales que sont l'UNRRA, puis l'OIR. Quels comportements, attitudes et expressions affectives et corporelles sont imposés et attendus de ces réfugiés ? Quelles normes de classe, de genre, de sexualité, familiales, professionnelles, validistes, politiques, ethniques ou religieuses président au « retour à la normale » de ces réfugiés ?

Witnessing through Literature and the Arts:
A Transdisciplinary Symposium

May 30 & 31, 2024
Sciences Po, Campus de Paris
1 place Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin

Widely theorized regarding memories of 20th century events of mass-suffering, the concept of “witnessing” can also help, in the light of a sustained sentiment of crisis, readdress current socio-cultural issues as they are dealt with from literature, film, and the arts."Witnessing through Literature and the Arts: A Transdisciplinary Symposium” will bring together scholars and artists to analyze the new idioms, epistemologies, and temporalities of testimony through literature, history, film, and the arts, proposing a critical reflection on how testimonies can be apprehended across time, cultures, and disciplines. This international gathering features talks by Alicia Partnoy, a US-based writer and survivor of the Argentine genocide, and French-Rwandan writer Beata Umubyeyi Mairesse. Organized by Profs. Frédérique Leichter-Flack from CHSP, Paris, and Patricia López Gay from Bard College, New York.  Co-sponsored by Centre for History at Sciences Po, OSUN Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network, and Sciences Po’s Institute for the Arts and Creation.
