FOREIGN AFFAIRS HIGHLIGHTS Featured Article from the Current Issue: Francis Fukuyama, Samuel Huntington, and John Mearsheimer presented bold visions of what the driving forces of world politics would be in the late 20th and early 21st century. In the current issue, Richard K. Betts, director of Columbia University's Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies and adjunct senior fellow for national security studies at CFR, examines how their predictions have held up in a contemporary context. "Conflict or Cooperation: Three Visions Revisited" A STRATEGY FOR PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN U.S. Strategy for Pakistan and Afghanistan This new CFR-sponsored Independent Task Force Report, directed by CFR Senior Fellow Daniel S. Markey, supports a long-term partnership with Pakistan, calls for a new approach to Afghanistan, and says that a more limited U.S. mission in Afghanistan would be warranted if the present strategy does not show signs of progress. --> Visit CFR's new interactive "Crisis Guide: Pakistan." U.S. CONGRESS AND FOREIGN POLICY Congress and National Security CFR's Kay King recommends in this Council Special Report that there must be a reset of congressional rules, practices, and procedures in order to address today's dysfunctional Congress and restore it as a full partner to the executive branch in advancing U.S. national security interests. --> Read this series of CFR Backgrounders on the foreign policy implications of the 2010 midterm elections. THE POLITICAL ASPECTS OF WAR How Wars End: Why We Always Fight the Last Battle Foreign Affairs Editor Gideon Rose argues in this new CFR book that the United States must have a better strategy for postwar planning. Currently, the creation of a stable and sustainable local political outcome of a war is an afterthought to be dealt with once the "real" military work is over. --> View CFR's "Timeline: The Iraq War" for an engaging look at how this war started and is evolving. REDUCING NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN THE U.S. AND RUSSIA Toward Deeper Reductions in U.S. and Russian Nuclear Weapons CFR's Micah Zenko writes in this Council Special Report that decreasing nuclear arsenals is strategically and politically advantageous because it would decrease the risk of nuclear weapons theft and nuclear attack and increase international political support for future U.S. initiatives to reduce or control nuclear warheads, all while maintaining a credible nuclear deterrent. --> Read this related Council Special Report on the Russian Economic Crisis.
