The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is an independent, nonpartisan membership organization,
think tank, and publisher dedicated to being a resource for its members, government offi cials,
business executives, journalists, educators and students, civic and religious leaders, and other
interested citizens in order to help them better understand the world and the foreign policy choices
facing the United States and other countries. Founded in 1921, CFR carries out its mission by
maintaining a diverse membership, with special programs to promote interest and develop expertise
in the next generation of foreign policy leaders; convening meetings at its headquarters in New York
and in Washington, DC, and other cities where senior government offi cials, members of Congress,
global leaders, and prominent thinkers come together with CFR members to discuss and debate
major international issues; supporting a Studies Program that fosters independent research, enabling
CFR scholars to produce articles, reports, and books and hold roundtables that analyze foreign
policy issues and make concrete policy recommendations; publishing Foreign Affairs, the preeminent
journal on international affairs and U.S. foreign policy; sponsoring Independent Task Forces that
produce reports with both fi ndings and policy prescriptions on the most important foreign policy
topics; and providing up-to-date information and analysis about world events and American foreign
policy on its website, www.cfr.org.
The Council on Foreign Relations takes no institutional position on policy issues and has no affi lia-
tion with the U.S. government. All statements of fact and expressions of opinion contained in its pub-
lications are the sole responsibility of the author or authors.
