handle is hein.journals/yaljoina10 and id is 111 raw text is: Interviews Thinking Over the Horizon: Prudential Foreign Policy in the World Today An Interview with CEO of the Center for a New American Security, Michele Flournoy (MF) Michi1e Flournoy is Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Center for a New American Security (CNAS). Ms. Flournoy also served as the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy from 2009 to 2012. In this role, she was the principal adviser to the Secretary of Defense in the formulation of national security and defense policy. YJIA You are well known for publishing a piece in the lead-up to the 2008 election titled The Inheritance and the Way Forward, advising the next president of the United States on what he or she should tackle in terms of reorienting national security policy. As you look to the 2016 election next year, what's at the top of your list? MF So I think as we think about 2016 and actually going forward, a lot of what we see today, I think, is going to continue over-really, for a generation. So whether it's dealing with ISIS and terrorist groups from the Middle East, Africa, and so forth; whether it's dealing with a more aggressive Russia that is trying to reassert its power and create a sphere of influence on its borders; whether it's dealing with the rise of China and the changes of the balance of power in Asia. I think those are the things that we're seeing today that are going to continue to become even more dominant in the security environment of the next decade.
