About
FOREIGN POLICY STUDIES:OVER THE PAST YEAR, SCHOLARS IN THE FOREIGN POLICY PROGRAM HAVE WORKED BEHIND THE SCENES TO INFORM MAJOR U.S., MULTILATERAL AND ALLIED GOVERNMENT STAKEHOLDERS ON NAVIGATING A LITANY OF CHALLENGES FACING THE MULTILATERAL SYSTEM AND LIBERAL INTERNATIONAL ORDER.A MAJOR GOAL OF THE BROOKINGS FOREIGN POLICY PROGRAM IS TO HELP ENSURE THAT DEMOCRACY REMAINS COMPETITIVE IN AN INTERNATIONAL ORDER IN WHICH AN AUTHORITARIAN ALTERNATIVE IS NOW INCREASINGLY INFLUENTIAL AND VIABLE. TO INFORM POLICYMAKERS AND THE PUBLIC, THE FOREIGN POLICY PROGRAM DREW FROM THE EXPERTISE OF ITS RESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT FELLOWS TO PRODUCE A REPORT AND SYMPOSIUM IN FEBRUARY 2019 ON "DEMOCRACY AND DISORDER: THE STRUGGLE FOR INFLUENCE IN THE NEW GEOPOLITICS." THE REPORT AND SYMPOSIUM RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT ATTENTION AND UPTAKE FROM THE POLICY COMMUNITY, INCLUDING U.S. SENATOR JEANNE SHAHEEN (D-NH) AND REPRESENTATIVE ADAM SCHIFF (D-CA), EACH OF WHOM ADDRESSED KEY FINDINGS FROM THE REPORT IN THEIR REMARKS DURING THE SYMPOSIUM. INTERLOCUTORS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND STATE DEPARTMENT POLICY PLANNING OFFICE CONFIRMED TO VICE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF FOREIGN POLICY BRUCE JONES THAT THE REPORT WAS WIDELY READ AND USED BY THOSE SEEKING TO RETAIN A FOCUS ON VALUES IN AMERICAN DIPLOMACY. SCHOLARS ALSO BRIEFED THE REPORT TO CONGRESS, TO LEADING CIVIL SOCIETY INSTITUTIONS, AND TO THE FOREIGN MINISTRIES OF GERMANY, CANADA, AND JAPAN. STEPHEN & BARBARA FRIEDMAN SENIOR FELLOW ROBERT KAGAN'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE REPORT, "THE STRONGMEN STRIKE BACK," WAS ALSO PUBLISHED AS AN ESSAY IN THE WASHINGTON POST AND RANKS AMONG THE MOST VIEWED OPINION ESSAYS IN THE POST'S HISTORY. THAT ESSAY BUILT ON KAGAN'S SEMINAL BOOK, THE JUNGLE GROWS BACK, PUBLISHED IN FY19, WHICH HAS BEEN CITED BY CANADIAN FOREIGN MINISTER CHRYSTIA FREELAND, GERMAN FOREIGN MINISTER HEIKO MAAS, AND DUTCH PRIME MINISTER MARK RUTTE AS A DEFINING GUIDE TO WESTERN STRATEGIES TO DEFEND LIBERAL VALUES IN THE INTERNATIONAL ORDER. TACKLING DANGEROUS CHANGES TO THE INTERNATIONAL ORDER IS ALSO THE FOCUS OF THE FOREIGN POLICY PROGRAM'S WORK IN ASIA. FROM 1940-1980, ASIA WAS THE MOST WAR-TORN CONTINENT IN THE WORLD. BY CONTRAST WITH THE EXCEPTION OF VIETNAM'S OCCUPATION OF CAMBODIA IN THE 1980SASIA HAS BEEN ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST PEACEFUL REGIONS IN THE PAST FOUR DECADES. THIS, DESPITE MAJOR TENSIONS BETWEEN STATES AND ENDURING LOW-LEVEL CONFLICTS WITHIN SOME STATES, LIKE THAILAND AND MYANMAR, THE FORTY-YEAR PERIOD SINCE 1980 HAS BEEN NAMED "THE EAST ASIAN PEACE," A PERIOD OF STABILITY THAT HAS SEEN MASSIVE REGIONAL ECONOMIC GROWTH AND THE DRAMATIC REDUCTION IN POVERTY. THE EAST ASIAN REGION AND THE WHOLE WORLD HAVE PROFITED FROM THIS COMBINATION. THE CRUCIAL QUESTION IS: CAN IT BE SUSTAINED IN THE FACE OF CHANGING GEOPOLITICAL DYNAMICS? TO ADDRESS THESE QUESTIONS, THE FOREIGN POLICY PROGRAM LAUNCHED "SUSTAINING THE EAST ASIAN PEACE," A MULTIFACETED INITIATIVE-HIGHLIGHTING KEY ECONOMIC AND SECURITY CHALLENGES BY COMBINING PRAGMATIC POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS, IN-DEPTH RESEARCH, AND HIGH-LEVEL DIALOGUE AMONG U.S. AND REGIONAL STAKEHOLDERS. THE FIRST CONVENING TOOK PLACE JUNE 2019 IN TAIPEI, WITH A KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY TAIWANESE FOREIGN MINISTER JOSEPH WU, AND SUBSEQUENT DIALOGUES WITH THE PRESIDENT AND TOP NATIONAL SECURITY LEADERSHIP OF TAIWAN. RELATED DIALOGUES TOOK PLACE IN SINGAPORE AND TOKYO, WHERE BROOKINGS SCHOLARS ALSO ENGAGED SECURITY, POLITICAL, AND PRIVATE SECTOR STAKEHOLDERS ON U.S.-CHINA RELATIONS AND U.S. POLICY TOWARDS THE REGION. THE SINGAPORE DIALOGUES ALSO SET THE STAGE FOR A COMPLEMENTARY MULTI-YEAR TRILATERAL PROGRAM TO BE LAUNCHED IN LATE 2019 INVOLVING AUSTRALIA, THE UNITED STATES, AND ASEAN COUNTRIES. FOREIGN POLICY HAS PARTNERED WITH THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM (WEF)THE PREMIER GLOBAL PLATFORM FOR MULTI-SECTOR EXECUTIVE DIALOGUETO INFORM PUBLIC- AND PRIVATE-SECTOR THINKING ON NAVIGATING GEOPOLITICAL RISK. OVER THE PAST YEAR, BROOKINGS FOREIGN POLICY FELLOWS HAVE LED WEF HIGH-LEVEL GEOPOLITICAL DIALOGUES IN AMMAN, JORDAN AND IN NEW YORK CITY DURING THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY (UNGA) WEEK. THE NEW YORK SESSION BROUGHT MORE THAN 30 FOREIGN MINISTERS TOGETHER WITH THE WEF AND BROOKINGS FOR A CLOSED-DOOR ANALYSIS OF CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES IN GEOPOLITICS AND MULTILATERAL AFFAIRS.
