The mission of this center is to challenge conventional wisdom where appropriate, add texture to the current debate on the issues cited above and build support for positions that further the national interest. While there may be foreign policy organizations that seem to dominate the debate in the areas to be focused on, there is a need for a think-tank less partisan and less wedded to establishment orthodoxies than the well known foreign policy institutions. Moreover, the transnational suppositions of the present administration deserve examination and review that have only been observed only in the breach. Similarly, energy alternatives - discussed and re-discussed - have not gained the traction they deserve and have not been linked to foreign policy perspectives. It should also be noted that risk analysis has often been bypassed by both private investors and government officials when they launch programs in foreign countries, a point demonstrated by failed policies throughout Africa.
