Global Democracy

This ambitious and incisive book presents a new vision for American foreign policy and international order at a time of historic upheaval. The United States global leadership crisis is not a passing shock created by the Trump presidency or COVID-19, but the product of forces that will endure for decades. Amidst political polarization, technological transformation, and major global power shifts, Lissner and Rapp-Hooper convincingly argue, only a grand strategy of openness can protect American security and prosperity despite diminished national strength.

It is with great satisfaction that we present to you this thorough analysis of the Santo Domingo metro and feeder bus system, realized by Carl Allen, 2009 GFDD Fellow and graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School Master's Program in Public Policy and Urban Planning. Mr. Allen's comprehensive study is an evaluation of the potential impact of the transportation system on poverty alleviation, congestion, pollution reduction, urban development and social and economic advancement.
