| Description |
Challenges confronting U.S. foreign policy are as complex as any time in history. These challenges arise from countries in conflict where the U.S. faces threats from war, extremism, organized crime & poverty. Current Quadrennial Diplomacy & Development Review (QDDR) is intended to identify policy priorities for the State Department & USAID & potential organizational changes necessary to address these challenges. At the same, USIP & U.S. Army Peacekeeping & Stability Operations Institute (PKSOI) have produced a framework that identifies "end states" which are required to achieve transition to security, good governance & economic prosperity |
