The US and the World
The US has international interests and a global ability to project power and influence. Here we examine the ramifications of those factors.
Our work looks principally at US foreign policy priorities, their impacts both at home and abroad and how these objectives shift over time. In addition to regional focuses on key competitors like China and Russia and the US role in the Middle East, we also analyze historical and shifting trends in US international engagement.
