So You Think You Can Improve U.S. Security? New Voices on New Policy Ideas
Channel: New America
Date: 2020-09-24

From COVID to climate change, racial injustice, weapons of mass destruction, and much more, U.S. security policy needs innovative responses to help us catch up to immense challenges. At the same time, the way the United States makes security policy – and who is at the table –needs to catch up to the realities of who our country is, and who security is for. Earlier this year, the New Models of Policy Change Initiative issued a call for policy essays offering new ideas to reshape U.S. security policy. We received more than 100 submissions – from across the country and around the world, and from people with a range of backgrounds, employment, and life experiences.

Our essay authors had lots of ideas for ways to do U.S. security policy differently. A committee of prominent advisors from think tanks, government, and academia anonymously reviewed the top essays and helped us to select the winners.
We're thrilled to announce the five winners of our essay contest.
