Robert William Kagan is co-founder with William Kristol of the Project for the New American Century. He is an International Patron of the Henry Jackson Society and a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a contributing editor at the Weekly Standard, and a columnist for the Washington Post.[1]

Kagan was born in Athens, Greece, in 1958.[2] He holds a bachelor's degree from Yale College, a master's degree in public policy and international relations from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, and a Ph.D. in history from American University.[3]

In 1981, Kagan was Assistant Editor at the Public Interest. In 1983, he served as foreign policy advisor to Congressman Jack Kemp and as Special Assistant to the Deputy Director of the United States Information Agency. From 1984-1985, he was a member of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff and principal speechwriter to Secretary of State George P. Shultz. From 1985-1988, he was Deputy for Policy in the State Department's Bureau of Inter-American Affairs.[4]

According to independent counsel Lawrence E. Walsh, Kagan obtained $25,000 from Oliver North's secret cache of funds to continue the operations of the Contras political office in Washington in 1986. He was Elliott Abrams' special assistant for the State Department's office of public diplomacy at the time.[5]
