Abstract

Envisioning 2030: US Strategy for a Post-Western World is a report released today by the Atlantic Council's Strategic Foresight Initiative that urges the Obama Administration to seize a historic opportunity to ensure America's global interests over the long term.

It outlines a US leadership strategy for the period ahead to 2030 and offers policy approaches in key subject areas to ensure a positive outcome at this inflection point toward a "post-Western world," given historic shifts in political and economic influence.
