The centrality of foreign and security policy issues in this year’s presidential campaign reflects the fact that it is the first one since the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The US electorate currently ranks these issues significantly above economic concerns as the most pressing problem facing the nation.
This development marks a return to the first 25 years of the Cold War, from 1948 to 1972, when international and security issues also dominated the concerns of voters during presidential elections. Given this context, and the extraordinary complexity and range of international challenges confronting Washington, this month’s conference call will examine the interplay and implications between this year’s presidential and congressional elections and the future of US foreign policy.
