Staff Spotlight: Erika Manouselis

| Fall 2020

A common element in Erika Manouselis’s life is bridges. At the United Nations, she helped Brazil’s Mission strengthen its relationships across distance and difference. At a law firm afterward, she helped immigrants reconnect with loved ones. As the Project Coordinator for the Belfer Center’s Future of Diplomacy Project and Project on Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship, she works to connect policymakers, practitioners, and scholars with students from around the world. And most every day (in the current remote work era) Erika walks across some of the most iconic bridges in Manhattan. It’s a fitting pastime for someone who’s passionate about foreign policy and bringing people together.

Nicholas Burns, Faculty Chair of the Center’s new Project on Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship, introduces European diplomats and experts in a JFK Jr. Forum in May on Navigating the Crisis in International Relations. Participants (from left): Burns, Germany’s Amb. Peter Wittig, CSIS Director of Transatlantic Security Julianne Smith, Spain’s Amb. Pedro Morenés, and EU Amb. David O’Sullivan.

At a time of questions about Europe’s unity, security, and prosperity—and about the commitment of the United States to its relationship with NATO and the European Union—the Belfer Center has launched a new Project on Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship to reinvigorate a continental bond that has anchored global order, provided peace and stability, and fueled economic expansion for seven decades.
