THE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AWARD FOR PUBLIC SERVICE
FPRI seeks to bring the best of scholarship to bear on foreign policy issues andemphasizes the importance of public service on behalf of the nation. These twoelements are also symbolized by the career of Benjamin Franklin, who devotedhimself from an early age to public service and to resolving problems throughobjective analysis, drawing upon the best knowledge available. Franklin’sinternational career culminated in his role as a diplomat whose work provedcrucial in securing American independence.
In 2005, on the occasion of FPRI’s 50th anniversary and on the eve of BenjaminFranklin’s 300th birthday, we presented the first annual Benjamin FranklinAward for Public Service, to honor Americans whose public service exemplifiesthe ideals of Benjamin Franklin and the United States. That first award waspresented to Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, and the second to journalist CharlesKrauthammer. This year, the trustees of FPRI are pleased to designate PhilipZelikow as the third honoree.

2007 FPRI HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights of FPRI’s research, publications, events, and media coverage in 2007 arepresented below by major programmatic areas.
A NEW AMERICAN STRATEGY
America needs a long-term national strategy to meet the challenges to its security.These include not only terrorism but also the changing foreign policies ofcountries such as Russia and China and the effects of economic globalization.Harvey Sicherman, president of FPRI and a former aide to three U.S. secretariesof state, is writing a book entitled Cheap Hawks, Cheap Doves, and the Pursuit of
American Strategy, that will address our nationalsecurity imperative from a geopolitical and historicalperspective.
“Counterinsurgency has a vital political componentcharacterized by the “three C’s”.
A new government must be able to:(1) co-opt important political groups,
(2) corrupt others to cooperate; and(3) coerce those who refuse.
Good counterinsurgency political policyreduces the “coercibles” to the smallest number.”
—Harvey Sicherman, in his January 2007 FPRI Enote,“Iraq Endgame.”

The Center on Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and Homeland Security, foundedafter 9/11, studies international terrorism, examines critical vulnerabilities inAmerica’s infrastructure, and suggests ways to improve homeland security.
In December 2006, the Center sponsored a two-day conference, Five Years After9/11: What Needs To Be Done? keynoted by Vice Adm. (Ret.) Lowell E.Jacoby of CACI International. At the invitation of conference participant Col. James Powers, director of the Pennsylvania Office of Homeland Security,Drs.

PROGRAM ON NATIONAL SECURITY
Chair: The Hon. John F. Lehman, Jr.; Director: Michael Noonan
What is the best military strategy for conducting the war on terror? How shouldU.S. forces be organized to provide for the common defense? FPRI helps answerthese and other important national security questions through research,conferences, and publications.
The Program’s most exciting news this year was the safe return in June ofDirector Michael Noonan, a captain in the U.S. Army Reserve, from his 14-month deployment to Texas, Kuwait, and Iraq, where he served on a MilitaryTransition Team with an Iraqi light infantry battalion in and around thenorthern city of Tal Afar.

ASIA PROGRAM - Director: Jacques deLisle
FPRI’s Asia Program promotes debate and analysis of the many importantdevelopments in this vital region. Each year the program includes four elements:(1) research, (2) the Study Group on the U.S. and Asia, (3) an annualconference; and (4) educational programs for the public and teachers.
The topic of the Program’s March 2007 conference was China Rising: AssessingChina’s Economic and Military Power, keynoted by John Pomfret,Washington Post correspondent and author of Chinese Lessons. Participantsincluded a reporter from Beijing Review, who interviewed participants AveryGoldstein and Jonathan Pollak.
The Program is currently planning its March 2008 conference,Political Transitions and Foreign Policy in East Asia, aconference on regional business issues, such as the “Tai-shang”(Taiwanese businesspeople on the mainland), and a symposiumon the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The Program’s Study Group hosted a talk by Tom Ginsburg onLessons for Democratic Transitions: Case Studies from Asia.
A fascinating new book called Charm Offensive: How China’s Soft Poweris Transforming the World, looks at Beijing’s increasing skill at usingdiplomacy, trade incentives, cultural and educational exchanges, andother techniques to build an image of a benign global leader. Speakinglast week at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia, thebook’s author, Asia specialist Joshua Kurlantzick, described thepractical reasons China is relying more on soft than hard power.”Trudy Rubin, “China woos globe with ‘soft power’,” PhiladelphiaInquirer, an article widely republished since its originalpublication in late July
“The implications of China’s continued rapid growth include China’s overtaking theU.S. in overall GDP terms sometime around 2040. Such a large and fast-growingeconomy will change global patterns of production, trade, and pricing, and alsoimplies adjustments in the balance of global military force projection capabilities.”
— Albert Keidel, “Assessing China’s Economic Rise: Strengths,Weaknesses and Implications,” FPRI Enote, July 2007

PROJECT ON DEMOCRATIC TRANSITIONSDirector: Amb. Adrian Basora
With Russia resurgent and democracy under attack in certain key post-Sovietstates, this FPRI project on postcommunist transitions is synthesizing key lessonslearned since 1989 and applying them to current-day Europe and Eurasia. TheProject’s goal is to develop more effective guidelines for democracy-promotion intoday’s changed and challenging circumstances. The target audiences includepolicymakers and aid-providers in both Washington and Europe, and democraticreform advocates and leaders in the former communist countries themselves.
The Project´s Transatlantic Steering Group held its second annual conference inFebruary 2007; findings from that conference will appear in the Winter 2008issue of Orbis and will be disseminated to leaders in Washington, Brussels andother European capitals.
“After the Berlin Wall fell in 1990, we didn’t go in andsay ‘We´re promoting democracy.’ What we did say was,“If you want to do these things, we´ll support you.’ Themessage was not that we’ll tell you what to do, but thatwe will support what you are doing. The Poles took us upon that right away, and then you had a domino effect:the Velvet Revolution, Hungary, etc. People had beenlonging for and working towards democracy for many
years. – Adrian Basora speaking on what he calls the post-postcommunist era onNPR’s Radio Times in March 2007.
THINK TANKS AND CIVIL SOCIETIES Director: James McGann
Over the past year, FPRI´s TTCS Program and the Center for Security Studies,a division of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (Zurich), developed thefirst online Think Tank Directory with data on think tanks working in the areaof security studies and international affairs throughout the world. Dr. McGanngave briefings and consultations with foundations and government agencies inHungary, Croatia, Slovakia, China, France, and Germany. The year also saw thepublication of his Think Tanks and Policy Advice in the US: Academics, Advisorsand Advocates (March 2007, Routledge).

MARVIN WACHMAN FUND FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONDirector: Alan Luxenberg
The Marvin Wachman Fund for International Education focuses on “teachingthe teachers”—advancing teachers’ knowledge of world affairs and aiding themin incorporating this knowledge in the classroom – and encouraging a dialogueamong pre-college educators, university scholars, students, and parents. TheFund reaches teachers across the nation through Footnotes, its bulletin foreducators. These bulletins are frequently reprinted in American Educator andother magazines and posted at other websites.
Walter McDougall and David Eisenhower co-chair the Fund’s HistoryInstitute for Teachers. These history institutes receive generous funding fromthe Annenberg Foundation, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, and theKauffman Foundation, and in-kind support from the Cantigny First DivisionFoundation, a division of the McCormick Tribune Foundation. The Kauffmangrant will enable us to begin in 2008 a new program on Teaching the History ofInnovation. We are developing this program out of our conviction that studentsneed to better understand the historical context for and consequences ofchallenges in the physical world.
Each weekend-long program provides some 40 educators from around thecountry the opportunity to learn directly from the top scholars in their fields onsubjects teachers are often under-prepared to teach. Many more teachers accessthe videotapes, reports, classroom lessons, and other materials posted at ourwebsite. In 2007, we held three Institutes:
Teaching About the Military in American Historyand Teaching Military History: Why and How, bothco-sponsored by and held at the Cantigny First DivisionMuseum, Wheaton, IL. In addition to onsiteparticipants, registrants participated by webcast from
around the country as well as Iraq, Israel, Great Britain, Singapore, South Africa,Sri Lanka, and Switzerland. Reports from these conferences have been picked upby George Mason University’s History News Network and numerous other sites.The importance of teaching this oft-neglected subject has been widelycommented upon in the media in recent years, and the Wachman Fund ismaking this subject a core part of its program.

Harvey Sicherman’s Concluding Comments to Students in the Webcast,
“What Students Need to Know About 9/11,” Sept. 11, 2007
You have to understand not only the rest of the world in this era but alsothe history of it. Today’s crises didn’t emerge because someone woke upone day and decided to do something. They are the consequences oflong-term trends, and the only thing that will prevent them frombecoming crises, that will allow you to manage problems over the long-term, is to become aware of those circumstances, understand the history.
My Ph.D is in political science, but I’m going to make the historians’case. Americans traditionally do not care for history because we’re acountry that looks to the future, the past seems like a burden to beshuffled off. But that’s not the way the rest of the world looks at it. Weare too far gone to say we will divorce ourselves from the rest of theworld and not be affected by it. So therefore my injunction to youwould be that the single best thing you can do is what WinstonChurchill advised, “Read history, understand history.” From that you’llgain a much better appreciation not only of the rest of the world butmost important of America itself.

Extracts from Middle-School Student Essays prepared as part of a lessondeveloped by Susan Mitchell, Jefferson Middle School, San Diego, aparticipant in our May 2007 History Institute, Living WithoutFreedom.
I never realized that the U.S. had so much freedom or how importantfreedom is.
I was shocked how other countries don’t have freedom and the way they haveto live. I’m so grateful for what I have in the U.S. I have freedom and that’swhat everyone wants and needs. I feel bad for the other countries and wishI could help them.
Without freedom we are lost and hopeless.Freedom is what makes us whole and puttogether. Without freedom we havenothing to look forward to.
I have heard of all these countries but Inever really took it serious because I don’tlive there. Learning all this has made mehappy and extremely grateful to be livingin a free country.
It’s important for me to live in a freecountry because I have big dreams and inorder to fulfill them I must live in a freecountry.
LIVING WITH OR WITHOUT FREEDOM
20
A lot of other countries, the government controls what they do, when they do,and how it’s going to be done. They aren’t allowed any access to the outsideworld. It’s all run by their government, but they don’t even get to choose that.America has freedom because we fought for it and we’re still fighting for itonce again. We’re allowed to explore and gain knowledge.
Without freedom I probably wouldn’t be in school and be as smart.Freedom is starved in other countries. Ridiculous rules are made to enslavecitizens, to use them and then throw them away like nothing. Freedom helpsus Americans fulfill our dreams and aspirations. I love freedom!
America gives the people laws that allowthem to do really anything that doesn’thurt someone. Say we don’t like thatthey’re going to cut down a park in ourneighborhood, we can go to city hall andstop it with a petition. Really easycompared to other countries, huh?
To live without freedom would behorrible. You will have your own familytelling on you about what you said aboutthe government. You can’t even have funwithout government permission.
Did you know that in North Korea thegovernment and dictator have absolutepower? That means the Koreans are practically being told what to do in theirlives. I don’t know how they can live like that. Thanks to the Declaration ofIndependence and the Constitution we are able to do many things and notbe arrested for doing so. I believe that people should be able to do what theywant, it’s a good thing that back then others thought the same. SomeAmericans should start appreciating the fact that we do have freedom. Eventhough I’m only a middle schooler I am very proud to be free!
So many people out there are so ungrateful for America’s freedom andgovernment, well I see the value that America’s freedom and governmentprovides us. Freedom in America is amazing.
Freedom is certainly not free, it comes with a price, many people die for ourrights, and I am thankful every day that I have it. Freedom is an importantthing in my life and I am privileged to say my dad has helped with myfreedom as well as others.
In few parts of this world freedom is taken advantage of. To everyone else, it’slike seeing a flying unicorn. Before I learned about all this, I never reallyconsidered what all this “freedom” was about. Now I know that we don’treally know how much freedom we have.
I’m surprised that not all countries are free. On t.v. you don’t see that theydon’t have freedoms. When I see countries like China or Russia I usually seehappy people. I think they have gotten used to that way of living. Theyshould be allowed to travel elsewhere. Most people in their countries think itis the best because they never gone out of it.
The things we’ve been learning about in class, it surprises me because Ithought by now every country would have at least a little bit of Freedom, butno, there are still some countries struggling.
