Walter Russell Mead is an American writer and academic. He is the Ravenel B.

Hudson Institute, the University of Florida and earlier posts
The official Hudson Institute biography, retrieved on 11 November 2026, gives the titles above and states that from 1997 to 2010 he was a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, serving as the Henry A. Kissinger senior fellow for US foreign policy from 2003 until his departure. It records that he is a member of Aspen Institute Italy, a founding board member of New America, and a board member of Aspenia, that he is an honours graduate of Groton and Yale, and that he is a native of South Carolina. The official University of Florida faculty biography and the Wall Street Journal author page give the same current titles and the same account of the Council on Foreign Relations fellowship.[1][2][3]
The Hudson biography names three books: Special Providence: American Foreign Policy and How It Changed the World (Alfred A. Knopf, 2004), which it states received the Lionel Gelber Award for the best book in English on international relations in 2002; God and Gold: Britain, America and the Making of the Modern World (Alfred A. Knopf, 2007); and The Arc of a Covenant: The United States, Israel, and the Fate of the Jewish People (Alfred A. Knopf, 2022). It also records that in 2012 the Foreign Policy Research Institute awarded him its Benjamin Franklin Prize for his work in the field of American foreign policy.[1]
United Against Nuclear Iran
United Against Nuclear Iran's leadership page, retrieved on 11 November 2026, lists him among the organisation's leadership. The associated official UANI biography still describes him as the Henry A. Kissinger senior fellow for US foreign policy at the Council on Foreign Relations, a title which the official Hudson, University of Florida and Wall Street Journal biographies treat as a former post ending in 2010.[4][5][1]
