The Foreign Policy, Strategy and Statecraft Program (FPSS) is a hub for policy engaged research, teaching and dialogue on U.S. foreign policy and national security strategy. 

At a time of rapid geopolitical change, it brings together a dynamic community of students, faculty and practitioners committed to evaluating existing approaches and developing new strategic options. FPSS combines hand-on student mentorship, rigorous academic inquiry and sustained policy engagement to create space for competing perspectives on the future of statecraft to be tested and refined. 

We’re shaping the next generation of foreign policy thinkers, leaders and doers by connecting classroom learning with real-world challenges. That begins with engaging students early in their careers and bringing together scholars and practitioners willing to think differently about the future of U.S. foreign policy.
