Description
The U.S. military has been engaged in more than eight violent conflicts since September 11, 2001, several of which have been in the Arab region countries of Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, and Syria. Among the multiple drivers of U.S. foreign policy is the interplay between internal dynamics, including structural racism, and external politics. The Friends Committee on National Legislation Education Fund (FCNL Education Fund) will explore these connections and their impact on prolonged military engagement in the Arab region through research, convenings, and expert dialogues among relevant communities. Corporation support will contribute to FCNL’s larger initiative designed to foster an understanding of factors that shape the U.S. role in the world.
