  • Barack Obama and the Dilemmas of American Grand Strategy
    Hal Brands Barack Obama and the Dilemmas of American Grand Strategy Did the Obama administration have a grand strategy? If so, was it effec- tive? Before Obama’s presidency even ended, these questions were unleashing fusillades of contradictory commentary. Sympathetic observers credited Obama with a wise, well-integrated grand strategy that enhanced American power for “the long-game.”1 Detractors, by contrast, argued that Obama’s strategy of “over- arching American retrenchment and accommodation” had been pernicious— even devastating—to national security.2 Still other prominent observers rejected the very idea of an Obama grand strategy, charging that his policies lacked any coherent design.3 Finally, and further muddying the waters, Obama himself was sometimes dismissive of grand strategy, once remarking that “I don’t really even need George Kennan right now.”4 As the president’s tenure ends, it is useful to revisit these issues and come to grips with grand strategy under Obama. In fact, the Obama administration did have a fairly clear and consistent grand strategy—if one defines grand strategy realistically, as a set of basic principles that guide policy. And that grand strategy reflected a mixture of continuity and change vis-a-vis the foreign policy tradition Obama inherited. In many ways, Obama’s grand strategy fit squarely within the broad contours of American statecraft during the post-war and post-Cold War eras, as its broadest objective was main- taining U.S. primacy and a liberal international order. Yet Obama simultaneously sought to define his grand strategy in opposition to the purported mistakes of George W.

Henry Kissinger’s example is used as the vehicle through which I demonstrate the utility of why and how the American Secretaries of State Project interactive visualization interface could develop and expand.

After careful study of Henry Kissinger’s interviews, books, biographies, and transcripts of all types through the lens of Chinese diplomats and scholars, three specific attributes have emerged in further explaining why Henry Kissinger was arguably the most successful Secretary of State—humor, networks, and the canvas. Each attribute explanation is immediately followed by a proposal to expand the data visualization project.

    AP PHOTO/CH AP A RLES DH RLES A R apa K The United States and Brazil Two perspectives on dealing with partnership and rivalry Kellie Meiman and David Rothkopf March 2009 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG The United States and Brazil Two perspectives on dealing with partnership and rivalry Kellie Meiman and David Rothkopf March 2009 Forward As President Barack Obama prepares to meet with his Brazilian counterpart, Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva, later this month among the key, yet underappreciated questions that lie before his administration is: How can the United States and Brazil pursue a deepening of bilateral relations while being partners and rivals in hemispheric and global affairs? The answer is not a foregone conclusion. Nor is the question one that can be brushed aside as unimportant in a complex global environment in which the demand for attention may well outstrip supply in the United States. How the United States and Brazil go about addressing the underlying dynamics at the heart of their relationship will have significant impact on hemispheric and global relations. Brazil often draws less attention in the United States than its fellow “BRIC” members— Russia, India and China—but with a population of nearly 200 million people, Brazil boasts considerable strengths. The country’s annual gross domestic product is more than a trillion dollars. A decade of strong industrial and agricultural export-led growth is now being matched by recent oil field discoveries that may catapult Brazil to one of the top ten oil producers in the world. Brazil already has the world’s leading bio fuel industry.
