Secretary Clinton: "A New Era of Engagement"
Posted by Katherine Brandon
Secretary of State Clinton gave a sweeping policy speech at the Council on Foreign Relations today. She outlined the administration’s goals and approaches to foreign policy, discussing some of the world’s greatest challenges, the shape of American leadership in the world, the need for global cooperation, and the benefits of diplomacy.
She emphasized that although there are unprecedented foreign policy challenges facing America today, these challenges also present opportunities:
But they are not reason to despair about the future. The same forces that compound our problems – economic interdependence, open borders, and the speedy movement of information, capital, goods, services and people – are also part of the solution.

That is the heart of America’s mission in the world today...............
