Great Decisions 2019: "State of the State Department & |
|
Diplomacy" presented by John Katzka at Mead Public |
|
Library, on October 10, 2019. |
|
|
|
The Great Decisions Series is a part of the Great |
|
Decisions World Education Program. Experts offer |
|
presentations on global issues and U.S. foreign policy. |
|
|
|
During the Trump administration, the usual ways of |
|
conducting diplomacy have been upended. Many positions in |
|
the State Department have never been filled, and meetings |
|
with foreign leaders such as Kim Jong-un and Vladimir |
|
Putin have been undertaken with little advance planning. |
|
What effect are these changes having now, and how will |
|
they affect ongoing relationships between the United |
|
States and its allies and adversaries? |
|
|
|
John Katzka, Retired Diplomat, was a senior U.S. Foreign |
|
Service officer with the rank of counselor. He is a |
|
Wisconsin native, a UWM graduate, and completed graduate |
|
work at George Washington and American Universities in |
|
Sino-Soviet politics. John joined the Foreign Service in |
|
1970 and his Foreign Service and federal career covered |
|
38 years. His main area of responsibility was public |
|
affairs. He held overseas postings in Bangkok, Khon Kaen |
|
and Chiang Mai in Thailand, two tours in Moscow (the |
|
latter during the collapse of the Soviet Union), Zambia, |
|
Yugoslavia (through the buildup to the breakup), Romania |
|
and various Washington assignments. |
|
|
|
After retiring he was asked to be a special envoy, first |
|
to Kosovo after the shooting stopped, then to Belgrade to |
|
help reestablish relations, then to Macedonia after their |
|
civil war and finally to Paris for more mundane matters. |
|
John is a regular on World Affairs Roundup, a monthly |
|
part of UWM s TV series International Focus that airs on |
|
Sundays on channel 36 at 4:30pm. He conducts two programs |
|
at the Cedarburg Library: Hot Spot of the Quarter and |
|
Great Decisions. John is the co-coordinator of the |
|
Milwaukee chapter of the World Future Society. |
