National Security Network

The mission of the National Security Network (NSN) is to strengthen American national security by helping to create and advance progressive policies for exercising American power and addressing global challenges. NSN concentrates on bridging the gaps in thought and action between policy experts and policymakers, and between Washington politics and the American public, and challenges misguided, overly militarized conservative approaches foreign policy. We promote a selective, pragmatic international engagement that emphasizes diplomatic and economic tools, along with a responsible use of military action, to ensure America’s security and promote American values. Accomplishing these tasks requires combining strategic communications with policy expertise to achieve outcomes across policymaking circles, Congress, and the media.
