What is the current U.S. foreign policy for your chosen security issue? Explore current and archived documents on the WhiteHouse.gov and State.gov websites to find an official strategy. If you cannot find a current policy, strategy, framework, or plan, then explore think tanks such as the Wilson Center, Center for Strategic and International Studies, or the Brookings Institution. Write a 2-3 page single-spaced paper (4-6 pages double-spaced), 12-pt font, 1-inch margins to answer the following questions:
Briefly describe the issue/situation. Refer to your initial analysis of the security issue (history or nested model, topic and process goals of each side).
Link the problem to a U.S. national interest
Specify how the threat/opportunity affects the U.S. national interest
What is the impact of context on your chosen security issue? Refer to Carter Chapter 3 and select one or two foreign policy contexts that seem to impact your security issue. You may also refer to Carter Chapters 1 and 2 if needed.
Briefly summarize your proposed strategy to address your international security issue. It can be a continuation of existing U.S. strategy, a change to a current strategy, or a new strategy.
