Hamas' Leaders - Council on Foreign Relations (original) (raw)


In War of Necessity, War of Choice, Richard N. Haass contrasts the decisions that shaped the conduct of two wars between the United States and Iraq involving the two presidents Bush and Saddam Hussein, and offers an authoritative, personal account of how U.S. foreign policy is made, what it should seek, and how it should be pursued.

In Money, Markets, and Sovereignty, the authors present a fascinating intellectual history of monetary nationalism from the ancient world to the present and explore why, in its modern incarnation, it represents the single greatest threat to globalization.

In Power Rules, inspired by Machiavelli�s classic The Prince, Leslie H. Gelb offers illuminating guidelines on how American power actually works and should be wielded in today�s tumultuous world.

New CGS Council Special Reports

Focus on the Financial Fallout
Lessons of the Financial Crisis

In this report, Benn Steil shows that the financial crisis is the inevitable bust of a classic credit boom, and explains how monetary, taxation, and home ownership promotion policy combined with other feaures of the financial system to fuel an unsustainable buildup in debt. He recommends significant reforms to reverse the debt financing bias and make the system more resilient to falls in asset prices.

Global Imbalances and the Financial Crisis

In order for policymakers to tackle today�s global economic crisis, this report argues, they must go beyond bailouts and stimulus packages and focus on one of the crisis's root causes: imbalances between savings and investment in major countries.

New Independent Task Force Reports

Confronting Climate Change

This report argues that the United States must lead with domestic action on climate change and proposes a U.S. negotiating strategy for a global UN climate agreement that includes commitments from all major economies, while also promoting a less formal Partnership for Climate Cooperation that would focus the world's largest emitters on implementing aggressive emissions reductions.

U.S.-Latin America Relations: A New Direction for a New Reality

This Task Force report examines changes in Latin America and in U.S. influence there, while taking account of the region's enduring importance to the United States. The Task Force offers an agenda for U.S. policy toward Latin America and identifies four critical areas that should provide the basis of a new U.S. approach.
