What if the major global and regional powers of today s world came
into closer alignment to build a stronger international community
and shared approaches to twenty-first century threats and
challenges? The Stanley Foundation posed that question to
thirty-three top foreign policy analysts in Powers and Principles:
International Leadership in a Shrinking World. Contributing writers
were asked to describe the paths that nine powerful nations, a
regional union of twenty-seven states, and a multinational
corporation could take as constructive stakeholders in a
strengthened rules-based international order. Each chapter is an
assessment of what is politically possible (and impossible) with a
description of the associated pressures and reference to the
country s geostrategic position, economy, society, history, and
political system and culture. To provide a perspective from the
inside and counterweight, each essay is accompanied by a critical
reaction by a prominent analyst commentator from the given country.
Powers and Principles is aimed at both reflective practitioners of
policy and policy-relevant scholars."

Bridging the Foreign Policy Divide is an outgrowth of a Stanley
Foundation initiative bringing together foreign policy and national
security specialists from across the political spectrum to find
common ground on ten key, controversial areas of policy. For each
topic, a conservative and a progressive expert, some of the leading
thinkers of their generation, jointly author a chapter outlining
their points of agreement on such subjects as the use of force,
democracy promotion, countering terrorism, detainee treatment,
China, and national defense.
As in the wider political arena, two-dimensional images of
progressive and conservative views on national security are major
obstacles to the search for new ideas and solutions. In Bridging
the Foreign Policy Divide, leading analysts will help build a more
constructive debate by looking past philosophical differences and
identifying effective approaches to the major national security
challenges confronting the United States. The project gives experts
an opportunity to examine politically sensitive issues on the
merits and resist the distortions and oversimplifications of
today's polarizing environment.
Bridging the Foreign Policy Divide brings together twenty leading
foreign policy and national security specialists-some of the
leading thinkers of their generation-to seek common ground on ten
key, controversial areas of policy. In each chapter conservative
and liberal experts jointly outline their points of agreement on
many of the most pressing issues in U.S. foreign policy, pointing
the way toward a more constructive debate. In doing so, the authors
move past philosophical differences and identify effective
approaches to the major national security challenges confronting
the United States. An outgrowth of a Stanley Foundation initiative,
this book shows what happens when specialists take a fresh look at
politically sensitive issues purely on their merits and present an
alternative to the distortions and oversimplifications of today's
polarizing political environment.
