Maurice East

Maurice East is the former Dean of the Elliott School of International Affairs, and Professor Emeritus of International Affairs and Political Science, George Washington University.

What role will the U.S. play in international affairs marked by greater complexity, uncertainty and diffusion of power? 

How can the U.S. help without leading on every issue? 

Dr. East was a Senior Fellow at the Strategic Concepts Development Center of the US Department of Defense from 1984 to 1985. He has also been a consultant to the US Department of State and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

He is also familiar with foreign policy-making systems in New Zealand and Singapore where he taught and met with many foreign policy officials.
