Sean Kay, Ph.D.
DELAWARE, Ohio – Ohio Wesleyan University professor Sean Kay, Ph.D., will examine issues swirling around White House negotiations with Iran when he is a guest March 19 on WOSU radio’s “All Sides with Ann Fisher.”
Kay, author of “America’s Search for Security: The Triumph of Idealism and the Return of Realism,” will appear on the NPR-affiliated talk show at 10 a.m. March 19. “All Sides” is broadcast on 89.7 FM and archived online afterward for on-demand listening.
In response to U.S. negotiations with Iran regarding its nuclear program, 47 Senate Republicans have signed a letter stating that, after President Obama leaves office, they may not honor any agreements he reaches with Iran.
According to the letter: “[W]e will consider any agreement regarding your nuclear-weapons program that is not approved by Congress as nothing more than an executive agreement between President Obama and Ayatollah Khamenei. The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time.”
At Ohio Wesleyan, Kay, Ph.D., has been a member of the Department of Politics and Government since 1999. He currently is chair of the university’s International Studies Program and director of its Arneson Institute for Practical Politics and Public Affairs, which oversees the Wesleyan in Washington internship program.
Kay also is an associate of the Mershon Center for International Security Studies at The Ohio State University and a fellow at the Eisenhower Institute in Washington, D.C. He previously has worked at the Institute for National Strategic Studies in the U.S. Department of Defense.
