Foreign Policy
The Foreign Policy program at Brookings is the leading center of policy-relevant scholarship exploring the major challenges to international peace and security posed by rapidly re-ordering geopolitics of major powers; the disordering relations among states and transnational actors; and changing dynamics in defense, technology, energy, and climate. Our scholars engage in in-depth, nonpartisan research and analysis aimed at advancing solutions to the toughest problems by providing concrete policy recommendations.
