report Oct. 18 that advises the next president of the United States on
foreign policy issues. The report, Divided Diplomacy and the Next Administration:
Conservative and Liberal Alternatives, highlights the differences
underlying the two political philosophies, parties and presidential candidates.
Drawing on their expertise in the field of US foreign policy, these 29
faculty members show that these policy rifts are not just products of
individual presidential personalities or party preferences, but reside
in more fundamental worldviews.
The report, edited by Henry Nau and David Shambaugh, explores these contrasts
through overview papers on the liberal and conservative grand strategies
and more specific contributions covering a range of issues: regional (East
Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, South Asia); bureaucratic (organization
of the National Security Council, Departments of State and Defense, intelligence
community and Congress); and functional (space, terrorism, trade, finance,
public diplomacy, non-proliferation, public health and development) issues.
Harry Harding, dean of the Elliott School, wrote in the foreword, “This
volume not only showcases the talent of our faculty, but also underscores
their commitment to helping their students, the media and the informed
public to acquire a better understanding of America’s role in the
world. It also shows the extent to which a university can take an objective
look at the controversies over foreign policy… .”
