L'avenir du leadership américain
Accroche

The French Institute for International Relations (Ifri) and The German Marshall Fund of the United States - France (GMF) have partnered to launch a joint research program on the transformations of U.S. leadership by the year 2020. 

Corps analyses

This project, which will include the publication of eight articles, seeks to analyze and anticipate the emerging and future changes in U.S. foreign policy in the context of a complex international environment. Policy changes are notably perceptible in the innovative instruments of governance that were put forth in the 21st Century Statecraft doctrine and the recent emphasis on the economic dimension of U.S. foreign policy (Economic Statecraft), which the Obama administration has laid out since 2009.

Ifri's work on the Americas region focuses mainly on the United States. Indeed, for more than 20 years, Ifri's Americas Program has provided keys to understanding American society and domestic policy while shedding light on developments in the country's foreign policy, including transatlantic relations and trade issues. 

 

Since 2023, a specific axis on Latin America structures more actively Ifri's research on this region.

 

Ifri's Canada program was active in 2015 and 2016.

The meeting also aimed to set up peace negotiations for Ukraine. However, despite having the potential to affect the entire continent, the discussions took place without the Europeans or the Ukrainians being present.
