On this edition of ST, we speak with Robert Donaldson, Trustees Professor of Political Science (Emeritus) at The University of Tulsa. A former President of TU, Donaldson is also an expert on international politics, especially Soviet, Russian, and American foreign policies. He'll deliver a free-to-the-public lecture on Sunday the 27th, beginning at 2:30pm, at the TCCL's Central Library; his talk is titled "Putin's Push to Restore Russia's 'Great Power' Status: The Global Impact." As we learn today, Donaldson's address will inaugurate the Tulsa City-County Library's 2019 Great Decisions Foreign Policy Discussion Program.
