Council on Foreign Relations | Rebecca Lissner
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is launching its multiyear Future of American Strategy Initiative to fundamentally reevaluate the United United States' global role amidst unprecedented contestation and uncertainty since World War II. This effort acknowledges the diffusion of power, intensifying borderless challenges, and decay of the liberal international order, alongside domestic dissatisfaction and the impact of revolutionary technologies. CFR scholars describe an increasingly contested world marked by new power centers, geopolitical realignments, a fragmenting global economy, and structural disruptors like artificial intelligence, climate change, and demographic shifts, which diminish international cooperation. While Washington retains formidable economic, technological, and military power, it faces domestic constraints including partisan polarization and weakened state capacity, hindering its ability to translate military might into victory. The initiative emphasizes that strength abroad relies on strength at home, seeking diverse perspectives nationwide to forge a prudent and sustainable American strategy for the coming decade.
