Jakub Grygiel is a professor of politics at the Catholic University of America, a Visiting National Security Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and a Senior Advisor at The Marathon Initiative. From 2017 to 2018, he served as a senior advisor to the U.S. Secretary of State in the Office of Policy Planning, where he worked on European affairs and great-power competition. His books are published by the world's leading university presses. Great Powers and Geopolitical Change (Johns Hopkins University Press) established him as a major voice in geopolitical theory. The Unquiet Frontier (Princeton University Press, co-authored with Wess Mitchell) was cited as a direct influence on the 2017 U.S. National Security Strategy — one of the rare cases in which a work of scholarship visibly shaped American foreign policy. The Return of the Barbarians (Cambridge University Press) examined the resurgence of non-state threats and the vulnerabilities of the liberal order. Grygiel writes on geopolitics, seapower, Russian foreign policy, and the role of classical thought in strategic education. His work has appeared in Foreign Affairs, Commentary, Parameters, and Orbis, where he also serves as book review editor. He earned his Ph.D., M.A., and MPA from Princeton University and his B.S.F.S. summa cum laude from Georgetown University. Classics of Strategy is his argument that the ancient and early-modern writers — from Tacitus to Aeschylus to Guicciardini — still have more to teach us about power, statecraft, and human nature than most of what is published today.
