NEW HAVEN - Strobe Talbott, deputy secretary of state and one of the Clinton administration's foreign-policy architects over the past eight years, has been chosen to head Yale's new Center for the Study of Globalization. The university says the announcement underscores its determination to become a thoroughly global institution as it enters its fourth century next year.
A 1968 Yale College graduate, Rhodes scholar and former university trustee, Talbott will begin work next July as director of the new center and professor of international relations.
Talbott became deputy secretary of state in 1994 after serving for a year as ambassador-at-large and special adviser to the secretary of state. His entrée into public service came following 21 years as a journalist at Time magazine, where he was editor-at-large, foreign-affairs columnist, Washington bureau chief, and correspondent covering both the State Department and the White House.
“Strobe Talbott's contributions to international relations have spanned the worlds of scholarship, journalism and diplomacy,” said Yale President Richard C. Levin. “He is superbly qualified to direct an effort that will draw on Yale's distinguished faculty to understand globalization, promote online dialogue about its implications and facilitate the resolution of global and regional conflicts.”
