| | BIN LADEN, AL-QAEDA, & U.S.-PAKISTAN RELATIONS Connect your students with CFR's resources on Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda.
What's Next for al-Qaeda?: Seven CFR experts discuss the effect, both real and symbolic, that Osama bin Laden's death has had on al-Qaeda and its stature in the Middle East.
A Question of Priorities: CFR's Micah Zenko addresses the question, "Why did it take so long to find bin Laden?"
More Tense Times Ahead for U.S.-Pakistan: CFR's Daniel Markey says the killing of bin Laden by U.S. troops on Pakistani soil is likely to exacerbate mutual mistrust between the United States and Pakistan, rather than lead to increased cooperation.
al-Qaeda (a.k.a. al-Qaida, al-Qa'ida): Explore this CFR Backgrounder to learn more about the organization and how it was affected by Osama bin Laden's death. | | | | | 
| | FAILED STATES AND SECURITY THREATS Supplement your syllabus with Weak Links, a new CFR book!
CFR's Stewart M. Patrick contends that assumptions about the threats posed by failing states—or "weak links"—are based on anecdotal arguments. Dr. Patrick challenges conventional wisdom through systematic empirical analysis that traces the connections between state failure and transnational security threats.

| | HEALTHY FAMILIES AND STABLE SOCIETIES Share this new CFR Working Paper on Family Planning and U.S. Foreign Policy with your students.
CFR fellows Isobel Coleman and Gayle Tzemach Lemmon argue that investment in voluntary international family planning is one of the most cost-effective ways to strengthen critical U.S. foreign policy objectives, including improving global health, promoting economic development, stabilizing fragile states, and encouraging environmental sustainability.
