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."

Tracing the transformation of NATO in the aftermath of the Cold
War, this volume assesses NATO's current accomplishments,
continuing challenges and political pitfalls. International
scholars and policy-makers explore three key themes influencing
NATO's future: transatlantic relations, the debate over enlargement
and the organization's new functions. Weighing the fate of an
alliance poised for renewal or decline, the contributors offer
analysis and discussion of an organization that has changed
profoundly over the past five years and continues to evolve in the
face of an uncertain global environment.
This book outlines a new strategy that applies the organizing
principles of progressive internationalism-national strength, free
enterprise, liberal democracy, U.S. leadership for collective
security-to the new challenge of defeating Islamist extremism. That
plan, as set forth in detail in this book, revolves around five
progressive imperatives for national security: * First, we must
marshal all of America's manifold strengths, starting with our
military power but going well beyond it, for the struggle ahead. *
Second, we must rebuild America's alliances, because democratic
solidarity is one of our greatest strategic assets. * Third, we
must champion liberal democracy in deed, not just in rhetoric,
because a freer world is a safer world. * Fourth, we must renew
U.S. leadership in the international economy and rise to the
challenge of global competition. * Fifth, we must summon from the
American people a new spirit of national unity and service. In sum,
the progressive strategy detailed in this book takes advantage of
all of our country's strengths, not just the big stick of military
power. It seeks to unite, not polarize and divide, our people. It
links the defense of liberty abroad with a new determination to
press progressive reforms at home. It calls on all Americans-not
just our men and women in uniform-to share the burden of prevailing
in what is likely to be a long, arduous and costly struggle.
