America's Next Foreign Policy

On newsstands October 28.

In the third part of the Campaign 2008 series, presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and John McCain put forth their visions for U.S. foreign policy. Clinton calls for withdrawal from Iraq, a foreign policy guided by multilateralism, and a concerted effort to combat global warming. McCain insists that the United States can — and must — succeed in Iraq, advocates an expansion of the U.S. military, and argues for a stronger response to the atrocities in Darfur. Both candidates call for a tough stance toward Iran.

In "Losing Russia," Dimitri Simes warns that U.S.-Russian relations are deteriorating rapidly and urges both sides to act soon to avert renewed confrontation. Michael Green and Derek Mitchell argue that the international community must change its approach to Burma's military junta, Philip Gordon contemplates how to win the war on terror, and Richard Betts calls for restraint in defense spending.

Also in this issue: Victor Cha goes head-to-head with Jason Shaplen and James Laney over U.S. policy in East Asia, Walter Russell Mead picks apart Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer's new book The Israel Lobby, and Francis Fukuyama describes the unheralded Latin American success story.

The complete text of these articles, all book review essays, and more is available on the Foreign Affairs Web site — look for the label FULL TEXT in the listing below. You can still receive this issue by mail if you subscribe to Foreign Affairs by December 8, 2007^*.

SPECIAL FEATURES
	Losing Faith The latest results from the Confidence in U.S. Foreign Policy Index reveal that the American public increasingly doubts the effectiveness of U.S. foreign policy. The Index is a joint venture of Public Agenda and Foreign Affairs, produced with major support from the Ford Foundation. It tracks the changing state of mind of average Americans toward foreign policy, probing deeper than typical polls and examining core strategies and beliefs about the United States' role in the world. This latest study shows that despite congressional testimony from General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker, public opinion has barely changed regarding the war in Iraq. Approximately two-thirds of respondents favor withdrawal, 48 percent of them within the next year. The study also reveals a slight increase in hawkishness toward Iran and widespread public frustration with Washington's approach to illegal immigration.
