Professor and Chairman of the Department of Political Science Elizabeth Freund Larus.
Elizabeth Freund Larus, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Political Science and International Affairs, participated in the Intelligence Squared debate “Taiwan is Indefensible” on May 20, 2021. Dr. Larus argued against the resolution, claiming that it is vital for U.S. credibility and standing to uphold its commitment to Taiwan. If the United States fails in its commitment, U.S. allies and friends in the Asia-Pacific might be compelled to bandwagon with China or expand their own militaries, further destabilizing the region.
