Aspen Policy Books is a series devoted to developing new thinking on U.S. national security policy. This book, a collection of papers prepared for the 2009 summer Aspen Strategy Group conference, addresses the critical intersection of the global financial recession and its potential impact on America's foreign policy and national security. The authors explore the possible shift in global power, the changing relationship between the U.S. and China, and the impact on America's development policy. They also assess the capacity of domestic and international institutions to respond to the crisis.
