In recent weeks, the Biden administration has released a trio of long-awaited strategy documents, including the Harris-Administrations-National-Security-Strategy-10.2022.pdf">National Security Strategy, the National Defense Strategy, and the STRATEGY-AND-POLICY-NPR-FACTSHEET.PDF">Nuclear Posture Review. But how should we read these documents, and what do they actually tell us about how the Biden administration intends to approach the world?

To answer these questions, Lawfare senior editor Scott R. Anderson sat down with Richard Fontaine, chief executive officer of the Center for a New American Security, who is himself also a former National Security Council official and senior congressional adviser. They discussed the role these strategy documents play in U.S. foreign policy, what we can learn from them, and what they say about the state of the world and the United States’ role in it.
