In the first years of the new century, a more assertive foreign policy took a toll on the long-cultivated role of the U.S. as a responsible global leader. The Century Foundation's work in this area provides perspective on the complex difficulties the U.S. is facing today, while providing policy recommendations to best promote the nation's security interests. Research and analysis in this area includes weapons proliferation, the Middle East, America's image in the world, and U.S.-Asia relations.
