Karim Sadjadpour prioritizes U.S. engagement with Iran on six critical issues: Iraq, Afghanistan, nuclear proliferation, the Arab–Israeli conflict, energy, and terrorism.
George Perkovich offers a three-step strategy for the United States to show Iran’s leaders that the more they advance enrichment capabilities, the less valuable cessation of those activities becomes for negotiating incentives packages.
 George Perkovich outlines four security areas where the long-term project of abolishing nuclear weapons would best serve U.S. interests: preventing proliferation, preventing nuclear terrorism, reducing toward zero the threat of nuclear annihilation, and fostering new optimism for U.S. global leadership.
 Sharon Squassoni cautions that the next administration must address critical questions about the feasibility and safety of a nuclear power renaissance, and act to minimize current proliferation risks.
 Rose Gottemoeller explains how agreements like the START and Conventional Armed Forces in Europe treaties could help establish a new book of rules both the United States and Russia can embrace.
 Thomas Carothers explains that the proposed League of Democracies rests on a false assumption that democracies share sufficient common interests to work effectively together on a wide range of global issues and outlines steps the next U.S. president should take to bolster democracy promotion and foreign policy in general.

 Ashley Tellis explains that the next administration should develop a balanced strategy toward Pakistan that simultaneously strengthens the civilian government—the best hope for Pakistan’s long-term stability—without alienating the Pakistani army.
 William Maley urges the United States to work with allies in developing a long-term strategy and providing security for the Afghan people, especially beyond Kabul.
 Nathan J. Brown explains that the framework to support a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine has collapsed and will require a more viable and unified Palestinian leadership and less intrusive Israeli security in the West Bank.
 Douglas H. Paal presents key steps the United States should take to advance its interests in rising Asia, including developing new multilateral security and economic arrangements with China and India.
 William Chandler identifies practical, non treaty-based approaches that both the United States and China —the world's largest polluters—can take to cut emissions with little financial impact.
