CFR IN THE CLASSROOM: UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI'S AMBLER H. MOSS JR.


University of Miami's professor Ambler H. Moss Jr. uses How Enemies Become Friends: The Sources of Stable Peace by CFR Senior Fellow Charles A. Kupchan for his course on the United Nations. Ambassador Moss describes it as an "excellent blend of international relations theory, international law, and the art of negotiation. It will give students a good appreciation of the complexities of contemporary issues and will stimulate their thinking about possible solutions."

RENEWING U.S. POWER ABROAD


Reviving U.S. Power Abroad from Within


Seven experts offer ideas for bolstering U.S. leadership abroad by resolving pressing domestic issues, such as reforming budgetary and trade policies, improving infrastructure and education, and overhauling immigration policy.

==> Read Richard N. Haass and Roger C. Altman's Foreign Affairs article, "American Profligacy and American Power," in which they discuss the consequences of U.S. fiscal irresponsibility.

NEW CONGRESS AND THE DEFICIT


New Congress and the Spending Thicket


In this First Take, CFR's James M. Lindsay discusses how the new Congress is likely to be dominated by partisan squabbles over debts and deficits, thus sidelining foreign policy.

==> Read more about politics and foreign policy on Dr. Lindsay's blog, "The Water's Edge."

INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY


Advantage: How American Innovation Can Overcome the Asian Challenge


In his new CFR book, CFR's Adam Segal focuses on the drivers and constraints of innovation, as well as the advantages the United States can leverage over emerging economic powers, such as India and China, to maintain its technological lead on the world stage.

==> Find more CFR resources on Technology and Foreign Policy.

NEW START TREATY


Why New START Was Ratified


Support of the U.S. national security establishment was crucial in gaining Senate ratification of the New START treaty, says CFR's Stephen Sestanovich, but follow-on arms control agreements between the U.S. and Russia face a tough road.

POLITICAL CRISIS IN PAKISTAN


Pakistan's Road to Disintegration


In this CFR interview, Pakistan expert Stephen P. Cohen discusses how the faltering government and the assassination of the governor of Pakistan's Punjab Province, Salman Taseer, are symptomatic of wider and deeper problems in a country that is fundamentally falling apart.
