The
aftermath of the Cold War and the tragic events of September 11
have bequeathed us a volatile and often violent world. Despite
the current international turbulence, it is paradoxical that
never before has there been a better opportunity to mold a world
order more compatible with the values the United States holds
dear. That kind of world, one which advances U.S. interests and
values, can only be achieved through the exercise of active,
thoughtful, disciplined American leadership. There is no
alternative. The Forum for International Policy was created to
be a clear, consistent voice in support of such a leadership
role.
The FORUM is a non-profit,
non-partisan "brain trust" of nationally-recognized
foreign policy experts with extensive, senior-level policy
experience who are committed to independence, integrity, and
impact. The FORUM is supported by a Board of Trustees composed
of distinguished Americans with impressive careers in
government, Congress, and business.
The FORUM provides
practical, real-world policy options designed to further U.S.
national interests in the new international environment. It is
wholly operational, using Op-Eds, articles, Issue Briefs, media
interviews, and informal meetings with decision makers to
provide cogent and practical perspectives on current
international issues and forecast developments not yet in the
public eye.
