Housed within the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, the New American Engagement Initiative aims to facilitate a wide-ranging debate about US foreign policy. We draw together out-of-the-box thinkers to question key assumptions underlying American foreign policy today. We are committed to challenging conventional approaches and building a comprehensive, sustainable strategy for America’s global engagement.
