A Strategic Roadmap for Reentry 2021 and Beyond: U.S. Institutional Commitments in a New Geo-strategic Environment

On October 15 and 16, 2020, Perry World House and the Foreign Policy Program of the Brookings Institution jointly convened a virtual, non-partisan workshop to assess the state of U.S. multilateral policy and develop strategic recommendations for U.S. reengagement with the international order under the next administration.

Our new report draws on those conversations, taking into account the subsequent outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, to assess the shifting global landscape of multilateralism, develop a set of principles to guide U.S. multilateral efforts going forward, and offer concrete action items for a new administration seeking to re-engage the international order. The report is authored by William Burke-White, Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania and Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution. Burke-White served as Inaugural Director of Perry World House from 2014-2019.
