Survey Request: Top Three Foreign Policy Issues

From: Bonnie Jenkins, Program Officer
US Foreign and Security Policy
The Ford Foundation

I know that many of your organizations have been giving much thought to the issues you would like to see addressed in the ongoing Presidential campaigns. More importantly, I know you have in your minds the specific issues related to US foreign policy that you hope the new administration will focus on after taking office in 2009.

We would like to hear your input on this survey Click Here to take survey. In it, we have listed a number of foreign policy issues. Please take about five minutes to rank in order of your preference the three top US foreign policy issues you believe should be on the agenda of the next administration. Of course, the issues you select need not be ones you focus on in your organization. You will not be asked to identify yourself and responses will remain anonymous. The results will not affect funding. With the help of Linda Guinee and the Interaction Institute for Social Change, plans for another Ford Foundation Laboratory for New Thinking are underway. Like all of you, we would like this input to help us determine the topic for the next lab so that we continue to examine the crucial issues of foreign policy at this critical time.

There is also a question that you should feel free to answer. It asks, “How would you determine when a robust and healthy US foreign policy formulation in America has been achieved?”

We look forward to hearing what you think. Thank you!
