Event Took Place

This is an era of upheaval in Washington, where the doors of foreign policy debate have been flung open in ways that would have seemed extraordinary just a few short years ago. For U.S. policymakers, the most important question is how America should adapt its foreign policy to address the challenges of the 21st century.  

The New Visions for Grand Strategy essay series – and its accompanying podcast series, The Strategy Sessions – bring together ten innovative out-of-the box foreign policy thinkers from across the ideological spectrum to propose their ideas for where the United States should go from here, from techno-industrial innovation to progressive engagement and American unilateralism.

Join some of the project’s authors for a lively panel discussion on the difficulties of navigating the emerging world.
