  • Interview with J.D. Bindenagel
    Library of Congress Interview with J.D. Bindenagel The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project AMBASSADOR J.D. BINDENAGEL Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: February 3, 1998 Copyright 2002 ADST Q: Today is February 3, 1998. The interview is with J.D. Bindenagel. This is being done on behalf of The Association for Diplomatic Studies. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. J.D. and I are old friends. We are going to include your biographic sketch that you included at the beginning, which is really quite full and it will be very useful. I have a couple of questions to begin. While you were in high school, what was your interest in foreign affairs per se? I know you were talking politics with Mr. Frank Humphrey, Senator Hubert Humphrey's brother, at the Humphrey Drugstore in Huron, South Dakota, and all that, but how about foreign affairs? BINDENAGEL: I grew up in Huron, South Dakota and foreign affairs in South Dakota really focused on our home town politician Senator and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Frank, Hubert Humphrey's brother, was our connection to Washington, DC, and the center of American politics. We followed Hubert's every move as Senator and Vice President; he of course was very active in foreign policy, and the issues that concerned South Dakota's farmers were important to us. Most of farmers' interests were in their wheat sales, and when we discussed what was happening with wheat you always had to talk about the Russians, who were buying South Dakota wheat.

Even more than previous years, 2011 certainly confirmed the need for a broad view of the world in order to support political and economic decision-makers working under the pressure of events that are becoming more and more difficult to control. Such wide vision allows for analytical distance to be introduced into decision-making processes. As a unique think tank in France, and through the range of subjects it covers (international and otherwise), its long history of bringing experience and successful metho- dologies to light, and the networks it has built with partners throughout the world, Ifri seeks to promote this kind of perspective.

German-Polish European Dialogue Warsaw 2018 About The Heinrich Böll Foundation The Heinrich Böll Foundation is a German Green political foundation that works through 32 offices in over 60 countries in the spheres of democracy, education, sustainable development, and cross-cultural understanding. Our patron, the writer and Nobel Prize laureate Heinrich Böll, personified the ideas we stand for: the defence of freedom, civic courage, tolerance, and open debate. Since 2002 the Warsaw Office has been promoting open dialogue between society, politics, business, and science. Within the Democracy & Human Rights programme we back social changes promoting equal rights and opportunities for all regardless of one’s background, gender, sexual orientation or religion. We place spe- cial importance on the effective functioning of public institutions and civic participation. The International Policy programme supports Polish-German cooperation concerning the future of the European Union, its role in the global arena, as well as transatlantic relations.
