ver the course of a tumultuous year for the United States and the world, scholars in the Foreign Policy program, under the leadership of Vice President and Director Suzanne Maloney, continued to shape debates and help inform policy decisions on the most pressing geopolitical issues facing Washington and the world.
ASSESSING CHINA’S GLOBAL IMPACT DURING A PIVOTAL TIME IN U.S.-CHINA RELATIONS As China’s influence expands to new regions, sectors, and industries, Foreign Policy has undertaken a program-wide project, Global China: Assessing China’s Growing Global Role in the World, to analyze the multiple dimensions of its global ambitions and impact. With contributions from more than 50 experts from Brookings and beyond, this series addresses questions ranging from big-picture issues such as great power competition and technological innovation to more focused topics such as China’s influence and strategy in Asia, its growing prominence in the Middle East, and its rise in outer space. The project will culminate in a book distilling its evidence-based, nonpartisan analysis and policy recommendations.
