I have the honor of introducing a luminary in the field of international relations, Professor William  Wohlforth. He is  the Daniel Webster Professor of Government atDartmouth College.  Professor Wohlforth is renowned for his multidisciplinary expertise in international relations,  security, and foreign policy, and has madesignificant contributions to the understanding of the dynamics of geopolitics. He is the author of several books, including the latest, A Measure Short ofWar: A Brief History of Great Power Subversion, which he co-authored with a British scholar Jill Kastner. Hehas also written scores of scholarly articles published in Foreign Affairs and other esteemed journals— exploring topics ranging from the intricacies of the Cold War to U.S. grand strategy. Most notably, his work on the concept of unipolarity has influenced public discourse,  especially on American global supremacy, some would say, America’s benevolent hegemony, in the post-Cold War era.
