THE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AWARD FOR PUBLIC SERVICE
FPRI seeks to bring the best of scholarship to bear on foreign policy problems.A crucial part of the Institute’s program stresses the importance of public serviceon behalf of the nation. These two elements are also symbolized by the career ofBenjamin Franklin, who devoted himself from an early age to public service andto resolving problems through objective analysis, drawing upon the bestknowledge available. Franklin’s international career culminated in his role as adiplomat whose work proved crucial in securing American independence.
In 2005, the year of FPRI’s 50th anniversary, we presented the first annualBenjamin Franklin Award for Public Service, to honor Americans whose publicservice exemplifies the ideals of Benjamin Franklin and the United States. Thatfirst award was presented to Dr. Henry A. Kissinger. This year, the year ofBenjamin Franklin’s 300th birthday, the trustees of FPRI are pleased to designateCharles Krauthammer as the second honoree.
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER
Charles Krauthammer, winner of the 1987 PulitzerPrize for distinguished commentary, writes aninternationally syndicated column for theWashington Post Writers Group. Named byFinancial Times as America’s most influentialcommentator, he began writing his column for thePost, which now appears in more than 180newspapers, in 1985. He is also a monthly essayistfor Time magazine, a contributing editor to TheWeekly Standard and The New Republic, and a
weekly panelist on Inside Washington.Krauthammer was born in New York City and raised in Montreal. He waseducated at McGill University (majoring in political science andeconomics), Oxford University (Commonwealth Scholar in Politics), andHarvard (M.D. in 1975). He practiced medicine for three years as aresident and then chief resident in psychiatry at Massachusetts GeneralHospital.In 1978, he quit medical practice, came to Washington to direct planningin psychiatric research for the Carter administration, and in 1981 begancontributing articles to The New Republic. During the presidentialcampaign of 1980, he served as a speechwriter to Vice President WalterMondale. He is the recipient of innumerable awards, including theNational Magazine Award for essays and the first annual Bradley Prize.

2006 FPRI HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights of FPRI’s research, publications, events, and media coverage in 2006 arepresented below by major programmatic areas.
A NEW AMERICAN STRATEGY
To manage post-9/11 threats to its security, America has to undertake a completerevision of its national strategy. It needs a new catechism and to make sure itseconomic, energy, and military policies support this. Harvey Sicherman,president of FPRI and a former aide to three U.S. secretaries of state, is currentlywriting a book entitled Cheap Hawks, Cheap Doves, and the Pursuit of AmericanStrategy, approaching foreign policy from the geopolitical and historicalperspective FPRI believes it deserves.
“The larger landscape of the Middle East has beenilluminated, notably the burgeoning contest betweenthe United States and Iran over the political directionof the region. . . . Alliances, ideologies, balances ofpower (including nuclear) and the supply of oil are allat stake. The war for southern Lebanon and northernIsrael is not likely to decide this larger crisis, but itmost decidedly opens a new round.”—HarveySicherman, in his August 2006 FPRI Enote,“Lebanon, The Two-in-One Crisis.”
On Tuesday, November 28, Dr. Sicherman willdeliver this year’s Robert Strausz-Hupé Memorial
Lecture, on “Ben Franklin and the Traditions of American Diplomacy.”

CENTER ON TERRORISM, COUNTERTERRORISM, AND
HOMELAND SECURITY - Co-chairs: Stephen Gale and Michael Radu
The Center on Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and Homeland Security, foundedafter 9/11, maintains dossiers on terrorist groups worldwide, examines criticalvulnerabilities in America’s infrastructure, and suggests ways to improvehomeland security.
The Center also presents “situation reports” on the war on terror supported inpart by a grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These briefings areoffered as a public service (free and open to the public). In 2006, it gave briefingson:
Homeland Security for the City of Philadelphia and Beyond – Stephen Galeand Center director Gregory Montanaro
What Every American Needs To Know about Iran – Patrick Clawson
9/11 Five Years Later - Stephen Gale, Michael Radu, and HarveySicherman

With the thwarted London terror plan and the approach of the fifth anniversaryof 9/11, Center Fellows and staff were particularly sought after by the media inAugust 2006:
“We must be prepared to imagine entirely new forms of attacks—perhaps designed asa number of simultaneous actions—aimed at destroying the West’s capability tointerfere with the jihadists’ plans.”—Stephen Gale and Gregory Montanaro,Philadelphia Inquirer
“When you have confusion defining the enemy, you inevitably have confusion infinding ways to fight it.”—Michael Radu, WPVI Action News
“We won the war against the old Al Qaeda. But we’re not winning against the globalsocial movement that Al Qaeda was part of, because more and more kids are joiningthe movement.”—Center Fellow Marc Sageman, New York Times
Center staff contributed to the second edition ofJonathan Saidel’s Philadelphia, a New UrbanDirection (St. Joseph’s University Press, Jan. 1,2006), first published in 1999. Former PhiladelphiaCity Controller Saidel explained: “After Katrina, Irecruited experts from FPRI here in Philadelphia toanalyze the city’s preparedness and assist in drafting anew chapter on homeland security in the re-release. Itis only through careful attention to potential threatsand a coordinated regional emergency preparednessplan that Philadelphia can provide its citizens andbusinesses with a reasonable level of security.”
Dilemmas of Democracy and Dictatorship, a collectionof Michael Radu’s essays over the past decade, waspublished in May 2006 (Transaction Publishers). Inthe introduction, he writes:
“In May 1981, I got a call from the director of FPRIinviting me to come to Philadelphia to interview for apossible job. I was hired, part-time, at one of America’soldest think tanks. Part-time became full-time and Ibecame a fixture—for better or worse—at FPRI. SomeFPRI people, especially Alan Luxenberg, now vicepresident, were there when I started and still make it agreat place to think and write.”
Dr. Radu is currently finalizing a book on Islam in Europe.

CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF AMERICA AND THE WEST -Co-chairs: Walter McDougall and James Kurth
The Center for the Study of America and the West conducts research to answerthe question, what is “the West”? It also publishes original works, runs a studygroup, and sponsors a History Institute for Teachers that serves high schoolteachers from around the country.
In 2006, the Center’s Study Group commissioned and discussed papers by NickGvosdev on Russia and the West; George Grayson on Mexico and the West;David Armitage on the Global Consequences of the Declaration ofIndependence, and Bart Jan Spruyt on Liberalism and the Challenge of Islam:the Case of the Netherlands.
Dr. McDougall is at work on the second volume of his trilogy on U.S. history,continuing on from Freedom Just Around the Corner: A New American History,1585–1828 (HarperCollins, 2004); and Dr. Kurth is writing two books, one onAmerican cultural conflicts and international politics and another on Americannational security and the global economy.
This year sees the publication of a volume of essaysedited by Drs. Sicherman and William Anthony Hay,Is There Still a West? (University of Missouri Press,December 2006) stemming from essays prepared for aCenter conference.
“Superb, informative, and thought-provoking. There isno other work that treats all of the issues within the‘Western Alliance’ with greater depth, comprehensiveness,and scholarly excellence. This one book deals with everyissue in American-European relations.”—StanleyMichalak, author of A Primer in Power Politics
PROGRAM ON NATIONAL SECURITY
Chair: The Hon. John F. Lehman, Jr.
What is the best military strategy for conducting the war on terror? Howshould U.S. forces be organized to provide for the common defense? FPRIhelps answer these and other important national security questions throughresearch, conferences, and publications.
In 2006, with support from the Smith Richardson Foundation, the Programpublished a pair of studies analyzing the lessons learned from Phase IV, orstabilization and reconstruction, operations in Iraq. Andrew Garfield’sSucceeding in Phase IV: British Perspectives on the U.S. Effort To Stabilizeand Reconstruct Iraq and Frank Hoffman’s Changing Tires on the Fly: TheMarines and Postconflict Stability Ops, were released at a September 19webcast briefing held in Washington, D.C. and are available online; executivesummaries were circulated as FPRI E-Notes. This coordinated release generatedextensive media coverage in the U.S. and UK.

US army’s kill-kill ethos under fire
SARAH BAXTER, WASHINGTON
Sept. 24, 2006
. . . Andrew Garfield, senior fellow of the Foreign Policy ResearchInstitute in Philadelphia and former British intelligence officer,believes that the Warrior Ethos has encouraged American soldiers torespond to threats with overwhelming force, so creating new enemies,not friends.
“The United States army is phenomenal at conventional warfare, butsoldiering—even in a Victorian sense—meant building roads andbridges, forging links with tribal leaders and very occasionally killingthem,” said Garfield, who travelled to Iraq to canvass the views ofmore than 100 British officers and officials about American tactics.
In a paper published by the institute last week, BritishPerspectives on the US Effort to Stabilise and ReconstructIraq, he notes: “The perception of the British military, manyindependent observers and almost every Iraqi interviewed is thatthe US military continues to employ excessive force in Iraq. . . .
12
The Program was also proud to present the following talks this year under theauspices of the W. W. Keen Butcher Lecture Series on Military Affairs:
Michael Vickers on Special Operations Forces and the War on Terror
Anthony James Joes on Resisting Rebellion: The History and Politics ofCounterinsurgency.
“There are some significant benefits to be had from involving the private sector insecurity, but there are costs and risks, both practical and political. Global regulatorystandards are only one step in a long process, but at least promise movement forwardin the efforts to leash what could otherwise be the dogs of war.”—Deborah Avant,in an April 2006 enote based on her Butcher series lecture given here inDecember 2005.
“We are still over-investing in major platforms for shock and awe, and under-investing in U.S. ground forces. We cannot always count on proxies, surrogates andpartners to achieve American interests.” —Center Fellow Frank Hoffman, DefenseNews
“The Sept. 11 commission catalogued in detail how ourintelligence establishment simply does not function.[Our] approach was completely rejected by the Bushadministration. . . . In reviewing progress on the threefronts of this war, even the most sanguine optimistcannot yet conclude that we are winning or that we canwin without some significant changes of policy.” —John Lehman, Center Chair and 9/11 CommissionMember, Washington Post

ASIA PROGRAM - Director: Jacques deLisle
Asia is a major player in the world’s geopolitical arena. FPRI’s Asia Programpromotes debate and analysis of the many important developments in the region.Each year the program includes four elements: (1) research, (2) the Study Groupon the U.S. and Asia, (3) an annual conference; and (4) educational programsfor the public and teachers.
The topic of the Program’s 2006 conference, held in cooperation with Penn’s LawSchool, was Constitutional Change and International Security in East Asia.It also cosponsored (with the Shanghai Institute of International Studies, JapanInstitute of International Affairs, the New World Institute) two symposia onChinese, Japanese, and U.S. Perspectives on Regional Security, one inShanghai and one in Philadelphia).
The Program’s Study Group hosted talks in 2006 by Jennifer Lind on Japan’sHistory Problem and Katy Oh and Ralph Hassig on North Korean NuclearWeapons, and a conference on Free Trade and East Asia (Shulong Chu, EdwardLincoln, Gregory Chow, Terry Cooke, Jacques deLisle, Roy Kim, and AlbertLiu).
“U.S. policies of promoting constitutional governance abroad are moreeffective when they do not simply dictate or prescribe. The impact of U.S.
constitutional ideals is greatest where they stand asappealing examples.”—Jacques deLisle, in his Reporton the Constitutional Change conference (FPRIEnote, September 2006)
“In considering a potential U.S.-Taiwan Free TradeAgreement, the balance sheet of economic gains/losses isbroadly positive for both sides.”—FPRI Senior FellowTerry Cooke, in his July 2006 FPRI Enote
FPRI Fellow Theodore Friend edited Religion andReligiosity: Modern Dynamics in Indonesia and thePhilippines (Southeast Asia Studies Program, Jan.30, 2006).

PROJECT ON DEMOCRATIC TRANSITIONS
Director: Amb. Adrian Basora; Research Fellow: Svetlana Djurdjevic-Lukic
In January 2006, a group of senior European and American policy officials,scholars, and democratization practitioners met in Philadelphia to launch thisnew project on post-authoritarian democratic transitions. This TransatlanticSteering Group agreed on theimportance of betterunderstanding the lessons learnedsince 1989 in postcommunistEurope and Eurasia and on theneed to translate these lessonsinto more effective policies tosupport future political andeconomic reforms in that regionand possibly beyond.
The Project’s goal is to developbetter guide-lines for reformleaders and democracy advocatesin Eastern Europe, as well as forpolicymakers and aid-providerson both sides of the Atlantic. Asecond conference will be held inFebruary 2007, with a third tofollow later in the year.
Some of the Project’s earlyfindings appear in the Fall 2006issue of Orbis. It will also developa user-friendly manual ondemocratic transitions designed toassist both frontline reform leadersin Europe and the former Sovietrepublics and policymakers andpractitioners in the West.

EDUCATION
MARVIN WACHMAN FUND FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION -Director: 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 History Institutefor Teachers. These history institutes have been sponsored by the AnnenbergFoundation, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, Mason Crest Publishers,the James and Agnes Kim Foundation, the Center for Global Partnership, andMr. and Mrs. Robert A. Fox. Each weekend-long program provides some 40educators from around the country an intellectual feast. The program is free forteachers, and travel reimbursement is available where applicable.
Until this year the institutes were all held locally, but thanks to a generous grantfrom The Annenberg Foundation, we were able to take the History Institutes onthe road in 2006. The grant also enabled us to videotape the weekends and postthe lectures on our website for free access to teachers nationwide. In 2006, weheld three Institutes:
October - Understanding China, Carthage College, Kenosha, WIMay - Teaching Islam, Bryn Mawr, PAMarch - Teaching India, Chattanooga, TN
In an article on how 9/11 is taught, CNN reported: “In an FPRI weekendinstitute on Teaching 9/11 and the War on Terrorism, educators from around thecountry attend workshops such as Terrorism in a Historical and CulturalPerspective, Understanding Terror Networks, Understanding Jihadism, and theQuestion of Homeland Security. ‘Sixty percent of young adults couldn’t identifyIraq on a map’, says the program’s Lucien Ellington. ‘Until systematic reform ofsocial studies occurs, it will always be problematic to teach about internationalaffairs’.”
The next scheduled conference, Teaching About the Role of the Military in U.S.History, will be held at the First Division Museum in Wheaton, IL in March 2007.
“Teachers have to become informed and be willing to get involved in possiblecontroversy. Who wants to do that? Yet how can you avoid an issue like 9/11?”—Alan Luxenberg, in Education Week
Teachers’ Reaction to History Institutes
“Before last weekend, I had taken one graduate-level class on India thatwasn’t taught nearly as well as this weekend’s speakers taught the subject.I’m anxious to share what I learned with my students. These venturesalways force me to add new material to what I have been talking aboutfor years.”—Carole Schroeder, Boise State University
“The conference provided very useful information and excellent insightsabout Islam and the Muslim world.” —Iftikhar Ahmad, Long IslandUniversity School of Education
“Thank you for the most spectacular weekend I’ve had since grad school!This conference filled in many gaps. I could not have been happier withthe conference: the outstanding lectures and collegial atmosphere. Theinformation I learned should go a long way toward reducing the stereotypesmy students have about the Middle East and Islam.”—Allen Barker,Greenville School, SC
“There was a variety of approaches and distinct political differences amongthe speakers. Thanks for another superbly interesting weekend.”—WilliamStockton, Johnson County Community College, Overland Park, KS
“I have been to literally 100 of these in my 20+ years in Air Force and 7years teaching. This one ranks at the very top!”—Gene Matera, JROTC,Vista and Great Oak High School, Temecula, CA
“I loved being able to continue conversations with speakers over meals.They were so available and eager to share.”—Phyllis Parker, RockbridgeCounty High School, Lexington, VA
