Career
From 1938-1939 he was a reporter for the Detroit News.
He began his career as an employee of the American mission to the League of Nations (1939-1940).
During World War II, he served in the US Air Force, as a glider pilot and in psychological warfare.
From 1949 to 1953 he worked at the US State Department. In particular, he served for three years as the Special Adviser to Secretary of State Dean Acheson[1]. In 1949, he served as an information officer for the U.S. mission to the U.N..
In the 1960s, Shulman was the leading foreign policy expert of the Democratic Party. In 1977-1980.

In 1966 he published the widely acclaimed book Beyond the Cold War, in which he predicted a policy of détente.
It seems to me, especially in retrospect, that um... the widespread impression at that time that the Soviets were, you know, expanding their influence wildly, is greatly exaggerated. In retrospect, their losses in that period, uh, were substantial too. And their gains were fairly limited. It's not at all clear uh, that they gained places of importance and of reasonable permanence. The possible exception of Cuba at that...in that period. But, certainly there is no reason why the United States shouldn't advance its interest when it can...uh, in responsible ways.[3] (Shulman in an 1986 interview)
He was a member of the Bergedorf Round Table of the Körber Foundation.
