The Fence-Sitter’s Dilemma

Grant Year: 2022

Anne Korin will research and write a monograph exploring how the United States can best develop alignments with states outside its formal alliance system to gain advantage in competition with great powers such as China. She will work with a group of former foreign policy practitioners and experts to identify broad criteria for assessing the relative value of states that could be partners with the United States and develop an optimal alignment strategy.
