US Foreign Policy

The United States is arguably the most influential nation in the world. However, a number of challenges in recent years have called into question the sustainability of US leadership abroad and prosperity at home. This includes, but is not limited to, the notion of US decline in relation to rising powers such as China or resurging ones such as Russia, a political system that appears to have entered an extended period of dysfunction, recurring problems in race relations, and rising economic inequality.

At the Clinton Institute, we have undertaken research on various aspects of US foreign policy. This includes research on:

- US foreign policy toward the region of the Greater Middle East

- US policy of democracy promotion

- US policy of counter-terrorism

- US military strategy in the Persian Gulf
