Council on Foreign Relations Tracks 2008 Candidates on Africa Policy

Council on Foreign Relations Tracks 2008 Candidates on Africa Policy

One of my all time favorite publications, dealing with economics and international affairs, is the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) . I have been reading this journal for almost a decade and view it almost in the way that I’d view an encyclopedia. So you can imagine my enthusiasm for them drawing attention towards U.S. Policy Toward Africa. In this instance what they have done is created a tool that can be used to summarize the views and records of each presidential candidate for the 2008 US elections. CFR has named this tool the Issue Tracker -The Candidates on U.S. Policy toward Africa.

I like this idea because it makes condenses the amount of time that it would take for me to investigate my possible candidates.

Here’s an excerpt, which comes from Joanna Klonsky’s introductory paragraph in this edition of CFR describing the Issue Tracker:

“Aside from the crisis in Darfur, Africa has been largely neglected in foreign policy discussions during the 2008 presidential race. With U.S. attention focused on the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan, China’s emergence, Iran, and other Middle East concerns, Africa is not a U.S. priority. But the continent has begun to emerge as more than a humanitarian issue for policymakers.”

From there the piece goes on to detail each of the eight Democratic candidates and each of the nine Republican candidates. For any voter whose vote may come down to US-Africa Policy, I believe this will be a great tool.
