President Obama has heralded a "new era of global engagement." But what do publics in the United States and around the world actually think about today's global challenges-and the international institutions to cope with them? Join us for the launch of Public Opinion on Global Issues, the most comprehensive digest ever assembled of existing polling data on U.S. and global public attitudes toward multilateral cooperation in the twenty-first century.

Developed by CFR's International Institutions and Global Governance program in partnership with the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, the digest consolidates global and U.S. public opinion across ten major issue areas: elements of world order, international institutions, violent conflict, terrorism, nuclear proliferation, climate change, energy security, the global economy, economic development, and human rights.

Many of the results in the digest are surprising, and they challenge long-held stereotypes about attitudes toward world order and international cooperation, both in the United States and abroad. This digest represents a compilation, analysis, and synthesis of existing polling data, rather than new survey research. Its value added lies in its comprehensive coverage of major issue areas, as well as its juxtaposition of global and U.S. attitudes toward each area. Getting a clearer picture of what citizens in the United States and abroad want is important for policymakers, because public attitudes will shape prospects for effective multilateral cooperation in the twenty-first century.

Join us in a cocktail reception to celebrate the release of a new book.

In "Forces of Fortune," Vali R. Nasr reveals that there is a vital but unseen rising force in the Islamic world-- a new business-minded middle class-- that is building a vibrant new Muslim world economy and that holds the key to winning the cold war against Iran and extremists. The great battle for the soul of Iran, the Arab world, Pakistan, and the entire region will be fought not over religion, Nasr argues, but over business and capitalism. Please join us to discuss the book and celebrate its author.
