New challenges for international leadership: Lessons from organizations with global missions

Abstract

Is the United States producing the leaders it will need in the 21st century? No issue is more critical for America's role in the world than its capacity to develop among its people the intellectual and professional expertise that will be required for leadership in international affairs. The authors of this study interviewed representatives of internationally oriented organizations, queried experts who could provide insights on this topic, and reviewed recent literature on U.S. leadership in international affairs.
