U.S. National Security and Foreign Policy
 

U.S. domestic security depends on a vigorous and national interest–focused foreign policy, a strong and well-funded military, a streamlined force structure armed with cutting-edge technology, and robust intelligence policies. This section of the website gathers together AEI research, books, and events focused on aspects of U.S. national security and foreign policy.

 
Feature: Keeping America Safe

Former vice president Dick Cheney, a member of AEI's Board of Trustees, was honored recently with the Center for Security Policy's Keeper of the Flame Award, a recognition of individuals who have devoted their public careers to the advancement of democracy, freedom, and economic opportunity. Vice President Cheney's remarks focused on the importance of the United States keeping its word to our allies, with specific reference to the Obama administration's reversal on missile defense systems in Poland and the Czech Republic and the decisions Obama will have to make on Iraq and Afghanistan. In May, Mr. Cheney spoke at AEI on the Bush administration's national security policy and provided a blueprint for keeping America safe in the future.
