Since the US election last year, we have been trying -- as most everyone has -- to figure out which Fellows and Faculty of the Salzburg Global Seminar would be appointed to high level positions within the Obama administration.
Several have been confirmed: Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State (Session 348, Educating Youth: Challenges for the Future, 1997); James Steinberg, Deputy Secretary of State (Common Interest Forum, 2003); Anne-Marie Slaughter has been nominated be Director of Policy Planning in the US Department of State (Session 418, Reinventing the West: Redefining the Transatlantic Agenda, 2004); and William Burke-White (Session 457 Islamic and International Law, and Session 458, The US and the World) has been nominated to be Senior Advisor in the Office of Policy Planning in the US Department of State.
In addition, word has it that Kenneth Lieberthal (Session 438, China: The New Global Economic Engine?), is also being considered for US Ambassador to China.
And as of today, we also know from Scott Malcomson's (Session 458, The US and the World) recent Huffington Post blog that Carlos Pascual (also Session 458) is under consideration for US Ambassador to Mexico.
More updates as they come.
