    U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress

    U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs Michael Moodie Assistant Director and Senior Specialist in Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Updated February 24, 2020 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44891 U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The U.S. role in the world refers to the overall character, purpose, or direction of U.S. participation in international affairs and the country’s overall relationship to the rest of the world. The U.S. role in the world can be viewed as establishing the overall context or framework for U.S. policymakers for developing, implementing, and measuring the success of U.S. policies and actions on specific international issues, and for foreign countries or other observers for interpreting and understanding U.S. actions on the world stage. While descriptions of the U.S. role in the world since the end of World War II vary in their specifics, it can be described in general terms as consisting of four key elements: global leadership; defense and promotion of the liberal international order; defense and promotion of freedom, democracy, and human rights; and prevention of the emergence of regional hegemons in Eurasia. The issue for Congress is whether the U.S. role in the world is changing, and if so, what implications this might have for the United States and the world. A change in the U.S. role could have significant and even profound effects on U.S. security, freedom, and prosperity. It could significantly affect U.S.

    Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America

    Issue No. 3, Summer 2021 Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America AEI, Reopening By Robert Doar The hot summer is here in Washington and with it, at long last, a return to the way our building on Massachusetts Avenue should always be. Scholars and public officials are gathering for meals and meetings. Students are assembling for classes conducted by the best public intellectuals in America. The halls are alive with talk of how we can advance the promise of the United States with policies that promote individual freedom, family, faith, and the benefits of work and free and open markets. Like many of you, throughout much of the past year, AEI scholars and staff became experts in Zoom and found new ways to stay connected with our wider community. For the most part, some members of AEI’s senior team and I were at our desks here in the D’Aniello Building, but it was a pretty empty space. Thankfully, our scholars, research assistants, and business and outreach teams working remotely continued to lead the most important debates facing our nation. Some of the great work our scholars produced during this unprecedented time includes Scott Gottlieb’s bipartisan leadership on our pandemic response (including his 66 consecutive appearances on Face the Nation); Michael R. Strain’s crucial role in designing and implementing the Paycheck Protection Program, which helped save millions of jobs; Frederick M. Hess’ launch of the Conservative Education Reform Network, which is planting the intellectual seeds for meaningful reform in school systems nationwide; Kori Schake’s revitalization of the AEI defense team, including the creation of the Defense Futures Simulator and the addition of a leading national security scholar, Klon Kitchen; and Yuval Levin, Matthew Continetti, and Adam J.

    Tow Center for Digital Journalism CONSERVATIVE A Tow/Knight Report NEWSWORK A Report on the Values and Practices of Online Journalists on the Right Anthony Nadler, A.J. Bauer, and Magda Konieczna Funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 Introduction 7 Boundaries and Tensions Within the Online Conservative News Field 15 Training, Standards, and Practices 41 Columbia Journalism School Conservative Newswork 3 Executive Summary Through much of the 20th century, the U.S. news diet was dominated by journalism outlets that professed to operate according to principles of objectivity and nonpartisan balance. Today, news outlets that openly proclaim a political perspective — conservative, progressive, centrist, or otherwise — are more central to American life than at any time since the first journalism schools opened their doors. Conservative audiences, in particular, express far less trust in mainstream news media than do their liberal counterparts. These divides have contributed to concerns of a “post-truth” age and fanned fears that members of opposing parties no longer agree on basic facts, let alone how to report and interpret the news of the day in a credible fashion. Renewed popularity and commercial viability of openly partisan media in the United States can be traced back to the rise of conservative talk radio in the late 1980s, but the expansion of partisan news outlets has accelerated most rapidly online. This expansion has coincided with debates within many digital newsrooms. Should the ideals journalists adopted in the 20th century be preserved in a digital news landscape? Or must today’s news workers forge new relationships with their publics and find alternatives to traditional notions of journalistic objectivity, fairness, and balance? Despite the centrality of these questions to digital newsrooms, little research on “innovation in journalism” or the “future of news” has explicitly addressed how digital journalists and editors in partisan news organizations are rethinking norms.
