33 Fletcher F. World Aff. 1 (2009)

handle is hein.journals/forwa33 and id is 1 raw text is: THE FLETCHER FORUM of WORLD AFFAIRS THE FLETCHER SCHOOL, TuFrS UNIVERSITY WINTER/SPRING 2009 VOL.33: $11.00 USA From the historic U.S. presidential election to the ever-expanding global financial crisis, the events of this fall and winter challenged The Forum, always seeming to race ahead of our production schedule. Ultimately, we could not resist the temptation to invite topical commentary from experts from the worlds of academia and policy. Former Department of Homeland Security Secretary MICHAEL CHERTOFF reflects upon his tenure and argues for a broader conception of security that encompasses not just physical safety but the security our finan- cial markets. He argues that in a resource-constrained policy environment, effective use of risk-management is crucial for prioritizing where, and how, to focus our attention. The Fletcher School's DANIEL DREZNER traces the waxing and waning sphere of influence of the State Department's strategic planning office, from George Kennan's tenure to the present, within the larger context of U.S. foreign policy. He argues that the plethora of complex and overlapping chal- lenges demand a greater emphasis on planning than has been the case of late. With a potential U.S.-China trade war looming on the horizon, legal scholar CHAD BOWN examines China's history as a member of the WTO and considers its internal political landscape to demonstrate why some of these disputes are inevitable-and how China and the U.S. can even benefit from them. After having written definitively on the subject in Foreign Affairs a decade ago, THOMAS CAROTHERS reexamines the status of rule-of-law promotion within international relations theory. In particular, he considers how the fulfillment of the rule-of-law agenda has been undermined by three pitfalls: an overestimation of the consensus about what the rule-of-law promo- tion means in practice; a tendency toward reductionism that results in a rule by law rather than a rule of law; and the false promise of sequentialism vis- - vis democracy promotion. PAUL SALEM and ALEX TIERSKY disentangle the challenges facing the Israeli-Syrian peace process and NATO membership, respectively; HOLLY BENNER maps a foreign policy agenda for the new Obama administration; and ADMIRAL WILLIAM J. FALLON sat down with The Forum to discuss national security issues-ranging from budgets to pirates, from Alexander the Great to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the United States' role in the Middle East. On behalf of the entire team, I hope that you enjoy this issue of The Forum. JUSTIN GINNETTI EDITOR-IN-CHIEF VOL. 33:1 WINTER/SPRING 2009
