http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kagan
Robert Kagan(born September 26, 1958 in Athens, Greece) is an American historian, author, columnist, and foreign policy commentator at the Brookings Institution. A co-founder of the Project for the New American Century,[1][2] Kagan is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.[3] He has been a foreign policy advisor to several U.S. Republican presidential candidates as well as to Hillary Clinton, when she was Secretary of State under President Obama.
Kagan is married to long-time career diplomat Victoria Nuland, who is currently serving as Assistant Secretary of European and Eurasian Affairs in the Barack Obama administration.[6] The couple has two children.
Kagan spent 13 years as a Senior Associate with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, before joining the Brookings Institution as a senior fellow in the Center on United States and Europe in September 2010.[9][10][11][12][13] During the 2008 presidential campaign he served as foreign policy advisor to John McCain, the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2008 election.[14][15]
Kagan also serves on the State Department's Foreign Affairs Policy Board,[16] originally under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.[17] He is also a member of the board of directors for The Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI).[18]
Because of his association with PNAC and his early endorsement of the Iraq War, Kagan is widely considered a neoconservative foreign-policy theorist.[19][20] Kagan describes his foreign-policy views as "deeply rooted in American history and widely shared by Americans".[21]
