Taking NATO Global
By Will Marshall
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is the most successful defense alliance in history. Today, however, the alliance is stumbling blind, and it badly needs a new sense of common purpose. As America's next president, you will
face no more important task than defining a coherent mission for NATO in the 21st century -- a mission that transcends the alliance's origins as a strictly regional pact and reinvents it as a force for global stability.

Necessary Risks
By Shadi Hamid
At the root of current Middle Eastern foreign policy debates on topics ranging from Iran to Iraq to Israel, is a more fundamental challenge for American policy makers: how to combat the general mistrust citizens of the Arab and Muslim world have of the United States. In his new paper, Shadi Hamid suggests that U.S. support for many of the region's more repressive regimes plays an important -- and counter-productive -- role in its efforts to bring peace and stability to the region.

Engaging Political Islam to Promote Democracy
By Shadi Hamid
We need a new U.S. policy for the Middle East that unequivocally gives democratic reform priority over so-called "stability." And that process must begin with a dialogue between America and political Islam.

Democracy Club
By Will Marshall
A Concert of Democracies is worth a try. It would at the very least be a potent constituency for liberal reform at the United Nations. And it could offer a third option to a world that too often faces a choice between U.S. solo action and U.N. paralysis.

Here Come the Realists
By Will Marshall
Realists can help ensure that the United States exercises its great power prudently. But they can't supply a positive vision for using America's power to create a safer, more prosperous, and just world. That's a job for progressive internationalists.

A Threat To Collective Security
Given the immediate threat posed by Iran and North Korea to their neighbors, and the more pervasive threat of nuclear proliferation and "loose nukes" in the hands of terrorists, there's no time like the present to begin building a 21st century collective security system that provides an effective alternative to both unilateral military action and lowest-common-denominator diplomacy.

With All Our Might
By Will Marshall, Editor
Instead of falling back on easy criticisms of the administration's blunders in Iraq, a new Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) book argues that progressives should seize the moment by proposing a comprehensive agenda for winning the war against jihadist terrorism -- an agenda rooted in the tough-minded, internationalist tradition of Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy.
