About US Foreign Policy
The US Foreign Policy Working group was founded following a conference held at the University of Leicester in March 2005, organised by John Dumbrell.
Since then the group has gone from strength to strength, generating cutting-edge research, a book series, and hosting the US Foreign Policy Conference, the largest dedicated gathering of US foreign policy experts in the world.
Along the way, there’s been plenty of practitioner engagement and intellectual controversies. Research collaborations have been sparked, PhD students have found supervisors, graduated and become working group conveners themselves, and a community of likeminded scholars have forged lasting friendships.
