Foreign Policy Begins at Home

In Foreign Policy Begins at Home, Richard N. Haass presents a thought-provoking perspective on U.S. national security, emphasizing that the greatest threats stem from domestic challenges rather than foreign adversaries. He identifies pressing issues such as the national debt, deteriorating infrastructure, and an outdated immigration system as critical factors that undermine American power. Advocating for a new policy of Restoration, Haass suggests that the U.S. should focus on its economic foundations while shifting its foreign policy approach to prioritize diplomatic balance and cooperative solutions to global issues, rather than military interventions.
