	Lateline - 08/11/2004: Author questions war in Iraq
		Robert Kagan was the co-founder with William Kristol of The Project for the New American Century - an organisation dedicated to the principle that American leadership is good, both for America and for the world.
		ROBERT KAGAN: The cost of withdrawing from Iraq and leaving it in a state either of chaos or perhaps as terrorist base are much higher than were the costs of the United States withdrawing from Vietnam.
		ROBERT KAGAN: I think that their own history in Algeria made them more wary of doing what the United States did than obviously Americans were, but I must say I don't consider that to be the leading factor in French opposition.

	PBS: Think Tank: Transcript for "The Atlantic Rift"
		ROBERT KAGAN: The European mission is to export what Europe has learned or discovered or achieved within Europe in terms of international order and moving beyond power to export it to the world.
		ROBERT KAGAN: Well, there is both in Britain and in Europe more broadly this sense that the United States has become so powerful that the United States is in danger of fulfilling Lord Acton’s prophecy that power corrupts and that without any check on American power...
		ROBERT KAGAN: Well, I don’t know whether they renamed any foods, but it was in the newspaper, and you know, just stop an average Britain on the streets and they were very, very hostile to France.

	RandomHouse.ca \| Books \| Dangerous Nation by Robert Kagan
		Robert Kagan strips away the myth of America’s isolationist tradition and reveals a more complicated reality: that Americans have been increasing their global power and influence steadily for the past four centuries.
		Kagan convincingly challenges the received wisdom that 19th-century America was essentially isolationist by showing that from its birth this nation aggressively expanded its frontiers across the entire continent, ousting the British, Spanish, French, Russians, and Mexicans from what are now the 50 states.
		Robert Kagan is senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, transatlantic fellow at the German Marshall Fund, and a columnist for The Washington Post.

	Isolating America
		KAGAN: There has been a significant element, especially among Republicans in Congress, that have turned away from internationalism, don't think we should be involved in many hot spots around the world, and they have played a substantial role in Congress.
		KAGAN: Well, I think it's fair to say that part of the opposition in Congress, particularly in the Republican Party, particularly among conservatives, to all these different treaties and agreements, is neo-isolationist, in the sense that they just don't like the idea of international agreements.
		KAGAN: Well, in the case of funding American foreign assistance, and American diplomacy overseas, it is a mistake, and it is a sign that many Members of Congress, particularly in the Republican Party, do want to withdraw the United States and lower its role in the world.

	[No title]
		Kagan's thesis is that the U. S., in contrast to other advanced industrialized countries, is subject to adversarial legalism, or a "legal style" that emphasizes lawyer-dominated litigation in policy making, policy implementation, and dispute resolution.
		Kagan acknowledges that American tort law is more responsive to popular pressures for the development of new causes of action and mechanisms for holding accountable large corporations and government agencies.
		Kagan's proposed reforms are refreshingly radical and sweeping--but among them, it seems to me, the most likely to be adopted are reforms that would enhance governmental and/or corporate power at the expense of fairness.

		Robert Kagan, who attended Yale when his father was the master of TD, said he enjoyed bumping into the elder Kagan on campus, where they often discussed sports.
		Kagan's junior year roommate and friend, Craig Gilbert '80, said although their messy room "would probably be pretty hideous for anyone to walk into," friends came over to play "Diplomacy," where each player represented a world power.
		Kagan brought the same intensity to Yale's political discourse when he founded the Yale Political Monthly in his senior year at Yale, citing the lack of a political forum for students to engage in debate.

		But at a time of unprecedented dissent between US leaders and their continental counterparts, Robert Kagan's pithy turn of (para)phrase has made him one of the most popular theorists of our times.
		Kagan disputes that the US's attitude was altered by the events of 11 September.
		In contrast, Kagan believes Europe to be entering a "post-historical period" when, tired of 20th-century violence, diplomacy and negotiation present the only way forward.

	Review of Robert Kagan's Of Paradise and Power on National Review Online
		Kagan argues that Europe and America are divided by a power gap and an ideology gap that “reinforce each other.” At the core of the division is an overwhelming disparity in military-technological power that has developed over the past decade as American defense budgets and advanced weaponry have dwarfed European military capabilities.
		Kagan deftly points out the great irony that the “military destruction of Nazi Germany was the prerequisite for the European peace that followed”: It is U.S. military power that has made it possible for Europeans to believe they live in a post-historical Kantian world of peace.
		Kagan tells us that “the new Europe” (which is to say, the EU) is a “miracle,” a “paradise,” and a “reason for enormous celebration” by Americans as well as Europeans.

	Kentucky Author Forum presents Robert Kagan
		Kagan believes that Europeans, still traumatized by past world wars and softened by the American protection during the Cold War, have forgotten that it is sometimes necessary to fight to preserve freedom.
		Kagan writes, “The problem today, if it is a problem, is that the United States can ‘go it alone' and it is hardly surprising that the American superpower should wish to preserve its ability to do so.” He describes the President Bush administration's foreign policy as realist-nationalist.
		Kagan is cofounder, with William Kristol, of the Project for a new American Century and a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

	NPR : Interview: Robert Kagan and Joseph Nye Weigh the Option of a Military Campaign Against Iraq
		Kagan, if I could put it in the bluntest terms, is an international coalition all that important for a military exercise in which, it is assumed, the United States, maybe with the participation of Britain, would have the military power to do what they want to do to change that regime?
		KAGAN: Well, I mean, an international coalition that goes beyond those who you need immediately, as Joe says, to be able to pull off the operation is very desirable, but it's obviously not essential.
		KAGAN: Well, it'll be interesting to see what lesson we all draw from the recent events but also events that may transpire over the next few months.

	Robert Kagan’s in Pain, and I’m Here To Help by Karen Kwiatkowski
		It seems, in the eyes of independent journalist Dahr Jamail and many others, to include the active pursuit of a divide and conquer strategy on the ground, one that is resented by the majority of Iraqis.
		He’s one of the handful of people who really and truly understand why American soldiers, bureaucrats and contractors are occupying Iraq, building bases, interfering with their "sovereign" government, guarding the oil fields and allocating the oil contracts.
		Robert, in your next article for the Post, how about telling us why, after a contrived invasion and an illegal and brutal occupation, it is truly in America’s interest to actually stay in Iraq — and also when you’ll be suiting up and deploying there yourself.

		Kagan is wise and perceptive throughout his long essay and pleads reasonably that the US and the EU must develop a common policy that recognises their historical and strategic differences.
		Kagan is critical of GWB (and Clinton) for maladroit diplomacy with Europe, but is not critical enough of how the US preference for premptive intervention in Iraq has undermined their new paradigm.
		Robert Kagan is known as a neo-conservative (whatever real meaning that phrase actually has) but it is wrong to call this book a polemic.

		KAGAN: Well, the first reaction was a kind of stunned disbelief, and then the second rather quick reaction was that this was -- I mean, this was the European view -- that this was a vaguely insane comment.
		When Robert Mugabe demonstrated that he could compel the EU to host his wife's shopping expedition to Paris, in despite of their proclaimed sanctions, he pointed out the nullity of European resistance.

		Europeans, wrote Robert Kagan, might imagine themselves "entering a post-historical paradise of peace and relative prosperity, the realization of Kant's ‘Perpetual Peace.'" Americans of a neoconservative bent knew better.
		Surveying the world, Frederick W. Kagan, brother of Robert, concluded in 1999 that "America must be able to fight Iraq and North Korea, and also be able to fight genocide in the Balkans and elsewhere without compromising its ability to fight two major regional conflicts.
		On January 26, 1998, William Kristol and Robert Kagan along with more than a dozen other neoconservative luminaries sent a public letter to President Bill Clinton denouncing the policy of containing Iraq as a failure and calling for the United States to overthrow Saddam Hussein.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| Robert Kagan: Healing the transatlantic rift
		Robert Kagan is the American thinker who first identified the growing transatlantic rift and coined the phrase "Americans are from Mars and Europeans are from Venus".
		As the British diplomat and senior EU official Robert Cooper has noted, Europe today lives in a "postmodern system" that does not rest on a balance of power but on "the rejection of force" and on "self-enforced rules of behaviour".
		But the other, equally important part of Blair's strategy has been to convince Europe to behave responsibly and courageously in a still dangerous world, to acquire the military capacity, and the will to use military force, as essential to the defence and promotion of that same international legal order.
