**FORGING A COMMON FOREIGN POLICY FOR THE 25 MEMBERS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION**

True, he couldn't bridge the gap over Iraq between Bush supporter Tony Blair and Continental refuseniks Jacques Chirac and Gerhard Schröder. But Solana, 62, has been present at the creation of a whole range of other common European policies. He helped push Leonid Kuchma's cronies from power in Ukraine late last year; he oversaw the E.U.'s taking command of peacekeeping missions in Macedonia and Bosnia-Herzegovina; he has worked hard to shore up democracy in the Palestinian territories and make Europe a player in the Middle East. It helps that as a Spanish Socialist with an aristocratic background, Solana lives easily with contradictions. He was against Spain's joining NATO in the early 1980s, but in 1995 became Secretary-General of the alliance—and led it through its first combat operation in Kosovo in 1999. Though his job now is to help Europe find a foreign policy voice of its own, his years of studying in the U.S. make him immune to knee-jerk anti-Americanism. For Washington and the world, he has become an indispensable European. —By James Graff

**THE TWO INAUGURATIONS COULD**

not have been more different. When George W. Bush took the oath of office on a rainy day in January 2001, he stood under the cloud of a contested election, sharing a split TV screen with a departing Bill Clinton, who was taking his time leaving town. When Bush, 58, took the same oath four years later beneath a blue sky, he had been re-elected at the ballot box and not in the courts, and the stage was all his. He had cut taxes, dramatically expanded Medicare and presided over the biggest reorganization of the Federal Government since World War II—while also turning the surpluses he had inherited into giant deficits. On foreign policy, he had responded to 9/11 by going to war in Afghanistan and, more controversially, Iraq—deposing the dictator who had bedeviled his father. Indeed, Bush used his speech this past January to call for nothing less than “ending tyranny in our world.”

# TIME article on Condoleezza Rice

One way to judge Secretaries of State is by their reaction to crises. Does the Secretary in question view it as a challenge or as a burden; an opportunity or an obstacle?

Condoleezza Rice was sworn in as Secretary of State amidst the greatest diplomatic upheaval in centuries. She is dealing with it with panache and conviction.

It is the essence of revolutionary upheaval that the old coexists with what is emerging; the new is present, but its final shape is far from clear. The clash of these elements appears to contemporaries as a series of crises. As National Security Advisor for four years, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Condi Rice has dealt skillfully with the symptoms of the structural upheavals of the international order: the

2

decline of the nation state in Europe; the ideological and religious
foundations of politics in the Middle East; the shift of the center of
gravity of international affairs from the Atlantic to the Pacific; the
emergence of terrorist groups capable of posing threats heretofore
reserved to states; the spread of weapons of mass destruction, so that
unparalleled prospects of prosperity occur under the shadow of the
vast potential for annihilation.

As Secretary of State, Condi Rice will have to switch gears.

Crises will continue, but her ultimate test will be the ability to distil a
new and peaceful international order out of the collapse of the

international
globalization of economies; and the worldwide thrust for popular
participation in governance. Such an international system will be
peaceful to the extent that it is able to enlist the willing participation of
the principal countries; in the end, the success of American policy will

3

be measured by our ability to translate America's vast power into
consensus.

As the only other person to have made the transition from
National Security Advisor to Secretary of State, I can testify to the
complexity of the adjustment. The Security Advisor has, by
Washington standards, a small staff – perhaps fifty professionals. The
role of the Advisor is to make certain that the President has before him
all the options that can be evoked from the bureaucracy and that no
policy fails because of the failure to foresee predictable events. Part of
the Security Advisor's task is to explain White House decisions to the
public, but at a pace determined by the President's necessities, which
are not confined to international issues. The Advisor briefs the
Congress informally but never in formal sessions, to maintain the
Constitutional principle of the separation of powers (the Advisor being
conceived as an arm of the President). In the inevitable disputes over

4

policy among the various departments, the Security Advisor is often
the arbiter because of the intangible advantage of propinquity. The
Advisor's office is a few feet from the President's; the Cabinet member
is fifteen minutes away (some day, psychologists will explain why this
makes such a demonstrable difference) and must deal with many
problems that never rise to the White House level.

The White House is a difficult place from which to design long-range strategy. The White House staff's focus is on the President, and its small size involves the risk that the urgent takes precedence over the important. The White House staff can evoke and coordinate; it generally does not have the resources to design strategy or to supervise the nuances of execution, which often spell the difference between success or failure of policy.

By contrast, the Secretary of State has the resources to put
forward an overall diplomatic strategy and to oversee the details of its

5

implementation. The Secretary of State has at his or her direction a bureaucracy of thousands of men and women and hundreds of foreign posts staffed by a Foreign Service of vast experience and knowledge and a commitment to national service. Though somewhat self-willed, its officers provide a nucleus for policy conception at one end of the policy spectrum and of dedicated policy implementation on the other. The Secretary of State is also - at least in theory - the principal public spokesperson for foreign policy. When in Washington, congressional briefings take up nearly half of the Secretary's time.

These assets are fully utilized only if the Secretary of State has close ties to the President and is treated by him as the center of the policy process. When this does not occur, strategic planning and even policy implementation migrate to the White House, as it did through much of President Bush's first term. Condi Rice has the closest relationship with the President than any Secretary of State of the

6

modern period. Within the government, her colleagues have
experienced the degree to which the President relies on her judgment,
and no foreign leader will doubt that she speaks for the White House.
All this gives her an authority for which there is little precedent.

Condi Rice has managed the aftermath of 9/11 with skill,
determination and verve. Now her ultimate challenge is a strategy for
a new world order. This requires leadership on four levels: a
definition of the nature of the challenges; a choice between alternative
options; an effort to organize and motivate those who have to execute
the policy; a program to convince the public, domestic or international,
of the overall direction.

Condi Rice has moved sure-footedly in assembling an
outstanding staff and establishing an international leadership role by
putting forward President Bush's emphasis on democratic reform by
whirlwind trips to Europe and through Asia. She is too much of a

7

CJD

student of history not to know that we have witnessed but the first
scene of a play in many acts and that final judgments must await the
way the design is implemented

But if it is too early after two months in office to judge the
outcome, it is not too soon to respect the scope and conviction of the
effort and applaud the serenity with which it is being carried out.

its implementation. The Secretary of State has at his or her direction

One way to judge a Secretary of State is by the reaction to crisis. Is it viewed as a challenge or as a burden; an opportunity or a blight? Whatever the reaction, the person responsible for American diplomacy must relate his [or her] attitude to at least four levels of analysis and action: a judgment on the nature of the issues; a conclusion as to alternative outcomes; an effort to enlist those [who] have to execute the policy in its nuances; a program to convince the public, domestic or international, in the enterprise. The meshing of these elements is what is commonly called strategy.

Condoleezza Rice was sworn in [as] Secretary of State amidst the greatest upheaval in centuries. She is dealing with it with relish, panache and conviction. It is too early to judge the outcome but not

It is the essence of revolutionary upheaval that the old coexists
with what is emerging; the new is present, but its shape is not yet
clear. The interaction of these elements appears to contemporaries as
a series of crises. Condi Rice's ultimate task will be to distil a world
order from upheavals. In that definition, the ultimate test of American
foreign policy under Condi Rice's leadership will be to translate our
vast power into consensus; to work for an international community
resting on the willing participation of the principal nations.

No person could be better prepared for this role than Condi Rice.

decline of the nation state in Europe, which invented the concept; the

no foreign leader will doubt that she speaks for the White House. All
this gives her an authority for which there is little precedent. The first
term of President Bush was decimated by crises arising out of 9/11.
Condi Rice has gone through the apprenticeship of managing the
immediate. She has done so with skill and ______.

Now the ultimate challenge is strategy. Condi Rice has moved
sure-footedly in assembling an outstanding staff and establishing an
international leadership role by whirlwind trips to Europe and through
Asia. She is too much of a student of history not to know that we
have witnessed but the first scene of the many-faceted play that will
reveal the American foreign policy design seeking to craft a new world

emerges. But having observed her for over a decade, I am struck by

The prospects exist amidst a revolution in world affairs. For over three hundred years, international relations was a tale of the interaction of nation states. Now the nation state in many parts of the world is declining in significance. In Europe, the traditional states - which indeed had invented the concept of the nation [state] - are ceding large aspects of their sovereignty to the European Union. They are suspended between their past as individual nations and their future as a confederation, no longer fully one, and not yet part of the other. In the Middle East, the nation state never existed in the traditional sense. Only in Asia are there nation states in the historic meaning of the word. But whatever the structure of the states, all face two common challenges: the existence of technically private groups located on the territory of sovereign states but autonomous of them, conducting terrorist campaigns on their account and capable of posing threats historically reserved to states. And all this is happening
