The Three National Security Priorities for the Next Administration

The first panel of Passing The Baton 2017 discussed three national security priorities outlined both by the panelists and by conversations from leadership dinners hosted by USIP the preceding evening. Panelists include Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, Admiral James Stavridis, President and CEO of the Atlantic Council Frederick Kempe and Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas.

As the United States prepares to inaugurate its 45th president, the U.S. Institute of Peace again held its Passing the Baton conference—a review, during the transition between administrations, of global challenges confronting our nation. USIP convened Cabinet-level and other senior foreign policy and national security figures from the outgoing and incoming administrations as part of two days of meetings January 9 and 10. They were joined by top officials from previous administrations, thought leaders and other foreign policy experts.

The United States Institute of Peace works to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict around the world. USIP does this by engaging directly in conflict zones and by providing analysis, education, and resources to those working for peace. Created by Congress in 1984 as an independent, nonpartisan, federally funded organization, USIP’s more than 300 staff work at the Institute’s D.C. headquarters, and on the ground in the world’s most dangerous regions. The moderator is Martha Raddatz, Chief Global Affairs Correspondent for ABC News.
