Jakub J. Grygiel

Jakub J. Grygiel (born 4 March 1972) is an Ordinary Professor of politics at the Catholic University of America and fellow at The Institute for Human Ecology.

Before joining the Department of State, he was George H. W. Bush Associate Professor at The Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (Johns Hopkins University).

[5] His book, The Unquiet Frontier, co-authored with Wess Mitchell, has been cited as having had a significant influence on National Security Advisor General H.R.

[6][7][8] The book argues that rising and revisionist powers, Russia and China, are "probing" the periphery of the U.S.-led international order by placing pressure on U.S. allies, and that the United States should strengthen its alliances as a way of achieving strategic stability.

[9] Grygiel was awarded the 2005 Rear Admiral Ernest M. Eller Prize in Naval History for an article on the US Navy in the early Cold War.
