The American Security Project is a non-profit, non-partisan public policy and research organization dedicated to fostering knowledge and understanding of a range of national security issues, promoting debate about the appropriate use of American power, and cultivating strategic responses to 21st century challenges. The principal threats to American national security are not unique to the United States, but are common to allies and other nations around the world. Terrorism and weapons proliferation, to cite just two, are shared dangers that require global consensus and a common response. ASP believes that we must restore American leadership in the world and recommit to cooperation with other nations to enhance our national security and to find the common ground that will strengthen security across the globe.
