Washington Post Op-Ed Appraises Princeton Study
December 4, 2006
Washington Post: Shaping Post-Bush Policy
In a November 27 Washington Post op-ed Jackson Diehl offers a positive appraisal of the Princeton Project on post-Bush foreign policy which was co-authored by CCD board member John Ikenberry and Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs dean Anne-Marie Slaughter. He calls the Princeton Project encouraging, “fresh” and “most impressive.”
Diehl says that the foreign policy project “contains ideas that ought to have broad appeal across both parties.” The article continues to assess some of the major components of the study including the creation of a “Concert of Democracies”, an international body that would admit members based on their dedicated compliance with democratic norms.
In the op-ed Diehl demonstrates the reality that this project by Ikenberry and Slaughter has a legitimate shot at influencing future American foreign policy. He calls Slaughter “a rising star in the foreign policy world who would be a likely candidate for a top position in a future Democratic administration.” Diehl admits that the major international overhauls that the Princeton Project advocates will not occur “while Bush is President,” but predicts that it may “be a start at what comes afterward.”
