Stewart Patrick

Stewart Patrick is the James H. Binger senior fellow and director of the program on international institutions and global governance at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Born in New York City, Stewart grew up in Garrett Park, Maryland, and attended Stanford University, where he studied human evolution. After graduation he went to Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship--and quickly evolved into a student of world politics. Now at CFR, he explores how the United States can help the world manage global problems. In addition to books and articles, Stewart writes the blog The Internationalist. He lives in Bethesda, Maryland, where he juggles work and three lively, curious children. When he can, he escapes for wilderness hiking--or just to lose himself in a good novel.
