Religion and U.S. Foreign Policy Project

Staff: Walter Russell Mead, Henry A. Kissinger Senior Fellow for U.S. Foreign Policy and Timothy Samuel Shah, Former Adjunct Senior Fellow for Religion and Foreign Policy
October 1, 2003 - June 30, 2006

Made possible by the generosity of the Pew Forum on Religion & Foreign Life, the project addresses one of the most important challenges facing U.S. foreign policy in the 21st century: the growing importance of religion in world politics. The project seeks to identify the fundamental research questions on the relationship of religion to U.S. foreign policy and to provide an analytical framework that will generate useful, impartial information.
