On January 14, 2016, the RAND Corporation's Washington office hosted the first of three workshops for a project, titled "Building a Sustainable International Order," that aims to understand the existing international order, assess current challenges to the order, and recommend future U.S. policies with respect to the order. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together scholars, policy analysts, and current and former practitioners to discuss the nature of the existing international order and its likely evolution over the next 15 to 20 years. This conference summary outlines the discussion from the event and identifies a future research agenda on the international order and U.S. foreign policy.
