Where does the Iraqi conflict leave the progressive project for building a multilateral rule-based order around the idea of international community? Is it possible to channel American power behind this project, or is the United States' bid for global hegemony an inherent source of anarchy? This strand of work will consist of research projects, essays and events that seek to map out progressive responses to the current international environment.

Output will include:

1. "Global Thinking Essays" which map out long-term thinking around these issues. The first two were written by John Lloyd and Andrew Tyrie.
2. "Global Thinking" lectures (see events section for more details).
