America's Next Foreign Policy

On newsstands August 28.

In the second part of the Campaign 2008 series, presidential candidates Rudolph Giuliani and John Edwards outline their foreign policy platforms. Giuliani argues for staying the course in Iraq, increased defense spending, and aggressive pursuit of Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. Edwards advocates a withdrawal from Iraq, diplomatic engagement to repair damaged alliances, and the restoration of America's moral leadership.

In "The Great Leap Backward?" CFR Senior Fellow Elizabeth Economy paints a disturbing picture of the environmental fallout resulting from China's rapid economic growth. Ignoring the looming environmental disaster is dangerous not only for China but for the rest of the world as well, argues Economy, and improving the situation will require revolutionary reforms.

Also in this issue: Ambassador James Dobbins seeks to draw lessons from U.S. failures in Iraq; former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Richard B. Myers and others respond to Michael Desch's May/June 2007 essay "Bush and the Generals"; former Senator Tom Daschle defends corn-based ethanol production; Johns Hopkins Professor Michael Mandelbaum explains why democracy is spreading despite failed U.S. democracy promotion efforts; and University of Chicago Professors William Howell and Jon Pevehouse examine when and why Congress challenges White House war plans.
