2011 Annual Report

This year marked the ninetieth anniversary of the Council on Foreign Relations. As the events of recent months have proven, new challenges can come about at any moment and relationships abroad can transform rapidly. The uprisings across the Arab world, the triple crisis in Japan, the killing of Osama bin Laden, and ongoing eurozone concerns greatly shaped this year's foreign policy agenda, and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) did considerable work on each.
