This roundtable is examining the relationship between domestic considerations and U.S. foreign policy during the upcoming presidential election year. The goal of the roundtable is to provide a systematic set of policy lessons about how to interpret and manage the domestic political terrain of U.S. foreign policy. Topics for discussion include the policy implications of democratic peace theory, the identification of foreign policy leadership in the United States, and the perception of domestic-international connections in the United States by other countries. The end product of this roundtable will be a written piece by the project director. Contact: Leonardo Arriola, 212-434-9683 or larriola@cfr.org
