11, One Year Later: A World of Change takes a look at the immediate

with Substance: Creating Payoffs in an Unequal Partnership argues

Bush and Putin must reach key agreements.

Is It Really a Development Round? The first policy brief of the Endowment's

than optimistic picture.
End
of a Brief Affair? The United States and Iran proposes U.S. engagement
of Iran in return for a commitment by Iran's leaders to cease support
for terrorism and back a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli
conflict.
U.S.
Climate Policy After Kyoto: Elements for Success argues that the decision
by the Bush administration to abandon the Kyoto Protocol and go its own
way on climate change is not necessarily the disaster for climate policy
often portrayed by environmentalists.
Rebalancing
United States-China Relations argues that the United States must do
far more than make rhetorical commitments to ensure a constructive U.S.-China
relationship.
Rebuilding
Afghanistan: Fantasy versus Reality argues that the United States
needs to devise a modest and realistic program, aimed at creating peace
and restoring basic economic functions rather than rebuilding the entire
state.
Preventing
New Afghanistans: A Regional Strategy for Reconstruction argues that
unless the international community pursues a regional strategy for rebuilding
Afghanistan, the security of the Central Asian states and Pakistan will
be so compromised that new terrorist groups with global reach soon will
be using Eurasia as their launching pad again.
Building
Capitalism: Lessons of the Postcommunist Experience argues that countries
with more effective democracies have produced better market reforms, because
the voices of liberal market reformers are more likely to be heard in
the struggle with the rent-seeking elite who would continue attempting
to make money on the very transition.
Realistic
U.S. Role in the Arab-Israeli Conflict argues that the U.S. must remember
history's lessons and proceed cautiously as it tries to make peace in
the Middle East. To prepare both sides for negotiations, U.S. policy should
shift from conflict resolution to conflict management.
After
the Attacks: Protecting Borders and Liberties argues that, in response
to the September 11 terrorist attacks, the U.S. must strengthen the weak
links in its immigration system. At the same time, a balance between enforcing
controls and facilitating movement must be established.
Fighting
Terrorism: Lessons from the Cold War argues that, to achieve any kind
of long-term success in the battle against terrorism, the United States
must combat not only the terrorist groups themselves, but also the wider
movements that give them support and shelter.
