Reimagining US Grand Strategy Program

Challenge conventional wisdom, question assumptions, and help policymakers manage risks, make informed decisions, and allocate resources wisely.

The Reimagining US Grand Strategy Program strengthens U.S. foreign policy by testing assumptions, reassessing conventional wisdom, and exploring innovative approaches to international engagement.

Given the historic nature of the challenges facing U.S. policymakers in a rapidly changing world, we believe that the voices influencing policy decisions are often too narrow, and that unconventional thinking is urgently required. The program fills an important gap in the national discourse on the United States’ global role by injecting fresh thinking and unorthodox ideas.

Through original research, public and private events, and media appearances, we are transforming the national security debate, among both policy experts and the broader public.
