The Institute for Policy Studies just released a detailed proposal on US Security, based on what they call “an alternative foreign policy framework.” Given the US’s role in global politics as in the destructive war on terror, the domination of international trade, as the lead producer of greenhouse gases, and the lead proliferator of weapons, it’s time, say the proposal’s authors, to “start a new relationship between the US and the world.” The report is called “Just Security” and offers an integrated approach to foreign policy that avoids relying either on hard power or advocating complete global disengagement. John Feffer, Co-Director of Foreign Policy in Focus is the lead author of the report. More than a dozen other analysts contributed to the report, including Phyllis Bennis, Nadia Martinez, Sarah Anderson, Daphne Wysham, and others.
