A Secretary's Diplomatic Journey Begins
When Hillary Clinton accepted President Obama's offer to become Secretary of State in 2009, she embarked on a remarkable journey that would span four years, nearly a million miles of travel across 112 countries, and some of the most consequential diplomatic decisions of the 21st century. What made this partnership particularly fascinating was that just months earlier, they had been fierce rivals in a grueling primary campaign. Their "team of rivals" approach evolved into what President Obama later described as "an unrivaled team" that reshaped American foreign policy during one of America's most challenging periods. Clinton's approach to diplomacy centered on the concept of "smart power" - an integrated strategy combining diplomatic, economic, military, legal, and cultural tools to advance American interests. Rather than relying solely on military might or traditional diplomacy, she sought to engage with civil society, strengthen alliances, and build coalitions around shared challenges. This comprehensive approach proved especially valuable as America navigated complex relationships with rising powers like China while addressing global threats from climate change to terrorism. What's particularly striking about Clinton's tenure is how she broke with tradition from the very beginning. Her first trip wasn't to Europe or the Middle East, but to Asia - signaling a strategic "pivot" that recognized where much of the 21st century's history would be written. This decision reflected a calculated understanding that America's economic recovery, security partnerships, and future prosperity were increasingly tied to the Asia-Pacific region.
