What policies should President-elect Barack Obama pursue to restore U.S. standing in the world? CGD’s new book, The White House and the World: A Global Development Agenda for the Next U.S. President has some answers. This collection of essays describes how modest changes in U.S. policies could help to foster greater stability, security, and prosperity globally and at home. Policy briefs suitable for the transition team and incoming members of Congress—and for their staff—crisply summarize the key recommendations. A new VOA series offers text and audio interviews with five of the authors.
