The media has been saturated with 100 day retrospectives and most of them (understandably so) have focused on economic policy and the financial crisis. I found this analysis focused on foreign policy at the Carnegie Endowment for Peace website. In A Thousand Envoys Bloom, Carnegie scholar David Rothkopf compares and contrasts the economic and foreign policy teams advising President Obama and warns that in their present form they may not offer him, and the country, the guidance needed to successfully navigate a crisis that will require a fundamental reappraisal of the tools and resources available for the implementation U.S. foreign policy. Perhaps we need (to jump on the media narrative of all things green), a green foreign policy, not in an environmental sense, but in the sense of focusing on alternative tools and strategies to cope with scarcity induced conservation. American foreign policy in the near-term will have to do more with less.
