Why this newsletter?
U.S. foreign policy is way too important - and too complicated - to be glossed over in news headlines and social media posts. This newsletter aims to take readers on a deep dive into how strategies, policies, and plans are formulated, implemented, and evaluated within the U.S. Government.
Who is the author?
Michael Walsh is a public intellectual who specializes in U.S. diplomacy:
As a Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, he conducts policy analysis on the strategies, policies, and plans of the U.S. Government.
As a Visiting Scholar at the University of California Berkeley, he uses exploratory data analysis and structured analytic techniques to bridge the gap between theory and practice in U.S. foreign policy.
As the President of Future Continuum, he teaches graduate students and business leaders about the ins and outs of continuity planning, global posturing, and strategic alignment.
As an Occasional Lecturer at the Foreign Service Institute, he teaches foreign policy making and planning to U.S. foreign service officers.
On a U.S. Presidential Campaign, he was the lead author on multiple regional policy papers and served as a member of the presidential briefing support team.
Why the name?
Consilium Strategicum (Latin: Strategic Counsel) is a nod to the historical contributions of the Ancients that enabled the emergence of the field of diplomacy.
