Kurt Campbell, Former Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, visits his Alma Mater, UC San Diego, to share some insight and some anecdotes from his political career.
Campbell, who is now Chairman and CEO of the The Asia Group, sits down with Susan Shirk, the chair of the 21st Century China Program and Ho Miu Lam Professor of China and Pacific Relations at the School of International Relations and Pacific Studies (IR/PS) at UC San Diego, to discuss US relations with Asia and how that continent has garnered more attention than it has in the past.
When Campbell worked with Secretary Clinton in writing a statement predicting that the 21st century would be largely focused on Asian countries, their piece coined the phrase “pivot to Asia.” This phrase caught the attention of the international media, with some unintended consequences.
Hear Campbell explain the controversy and intentions behind the “pivot towards Asia” as well as the relations between China and Japan in “The Pivot to Asia with Kurt Campbell and Susan Shirk.”

Later, Edward G. Robinson joyously portrays the gangster Caesar Enrico Bandello in the 1931 classic, Little Caesar. This film is a first-rate example in which cinema audiences experience the thrill of gangster violence while also seeing that violence turned against the gangster, himself. This is Edward G. Robinson’s breakthrough performance placing him permanently on the Hollywood landscape. Little Caesar garnered a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination at the fourth (that’s right — the fourth) annual Academy Awards.
