Bridging the Theory-Practice Divide in International Relations
Bush 41 and Gorbachev
The conditions that underpinned U.S.-Soviet relations during the George H. W. Bush presidency were vastly different from today. Nevertheless, President Bush’s adroit diplomacy, which built upon President Ronald Reagan’s strategic choices, offers insights for American policy toward Russia three decades later. The United States must build economic strength, leverage power, tend to allies, act prudently, and recognize that Russians must decide their…
The Middle East and North Africa
Robert B. Zoellick, President of the World Bank Group, discussed the political firestorm that engulfed Tunisia and the wider Middle East and its lessons for a new social contract for development that goes beyond the region itself. He argued for modernizing multilateralism in the Arab World, reforming international institutions to reflect power shifts in the world. Development economics must be democratized. Investment in the Arab World needs to b…
Seizing Opportunity from Crisis
Remarks at the African Union Summit, Addis Ababa
Robert B. Zoellick, President of the World Bank, addressed the challenges and opportunities for World Bank Group cooperation with the African Union. He discussed the following topics: (i) Millennium Development Goals have become critical for social development in Africa; (ii) growth and opportunity for Sub-Saharan Africa; (iii) natural resource development; (iv) post-conflict countries and those in fragile situations; and (v) the danger of high e…
Fragile States
Robert B. Zoellick, President of the World Bank, remarked that the traumas of fragile states and the interconnections of globalization require our generation to recognize anew the nexus among economics, governance, and security. Most wars are now conflicts within states, and fragile states account for most of them. The "R" in IBRD has a new meaning: reconstructing Afghanistan, Cambodia, Côte d’Ivoire, Haiti, Iraq, Kosovo, Liberia, the Palestinian…
Fragile States
Fragile states are the toughest development challenge of our era. But we ignore them at our peril: about one billion people live in fragile states, including a disproportionate number of the world's extreme poor, and they account for most of today's wars. These situations require a different framework of building security, legitimacy, governance, and the economy. Only by securing development – bringing security and development together to smooth …

A Republican Foreign Policy
Congress and the making of US foreign policy
One American myth of the 1990s is that, in the 'good old days', Congress deferred to the Executive branch on foreign policy. Since the Cold War, the myth continues, an unusually troublesome Congress has obstructed the conduct of foreign relations. Yet tension between the Executive and Congress over foreign policy is neither new, nor a unique product of the end of the Cold War. Under the US Constitution, and based on experience, the two branches o…
America and the Muslim Middle East
This book begins with a general overview of what a president needs to understand about the Muslim world, then moves to specific exemplars, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkey. It includes commissioned papers and summary points from a meeting of the Aspen Strategy Group, at which group members and invited guests came together to discuss the background and context, as well as the operational policy challenges of the U.S. government. This is the first of…
