The "3 D’s," defense, diplomacy and development, have been pillars of U.S. government reconstruction and stabilization programs. Recently, however, the "4th D"—the domestic interagency community—has come into the picture. This USIPeace Briefing describes the distinct value the "4th D" adds to reconstruction and stabilization initiatives and how it can be integrated into the larger U.S. government community.
The practical steps outlined in this briefing could be taken immediately—with low cost and substantial potential payoff.
