Starting at the founding of the republic, with Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson, and concluding with Presidents Obama and Trump, Robert Zoellick tells the story of American diplomacy in his new book, America in the World: A History of U.S. Diplomacy and Foreign Policy.
Ambassador Zoellick identifies five traditions that offer a framework for understanding America’s role in the world: the North American base; trade, transnationalism, and technology; alliances and order; the need for public and Congressional support; and America’s greater purpose as a global player.
Join the National Committee on September 15 at 4:00 p.m. EDT for a virtual program with Ambassador Robert Zoellick in conversation with Financial Times editor and correspondent Lionel Barber. The event will be hosted by National Committee Vice Chair Evan Greenberg and President Steve Orlins.

Economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and escalating political tensions pushed two-way investments between the United States and China to their lowest level in nearly a decade in the first half of 2020. Expanding U.S. scrutiny of Chinese companies, election politics, and uneven economic recovery trajectories will maintain high pressure on U.S.-China capital flows for the remainder of the year.
Join Two-Way Street report authors Thilo Hanemann and Adam Lysenko, both of Rhodium Group, and National Committee President Stephen Orlins on September 17 at 5:00 p.m. EDT for a mid-year review of the latest trends in U.S.-China investment and an analysis of the political dynamics and market developments behind them.

At a time when prominent voices in the U.S. foreign policy community – from both sides of the aisle – are calling upon the United States to take a new approach towards China, many are putting forward new ideas to define what a "new era" would look like. An increasingly timely discussion has revolved around making more direct connections between gender equality and national security – a "Feminist Foreign Policy."
Join the National Committee on September 18 at 10:30 a.m. EDT for a virtual Congressional staff briefing with Stephenie Foster, Sarah Kemp, and Wenchi Yu, about feminist foreign policy and what its implementation could mean for the evolving U.S.-China relationship.
