Do Alliances and Partnerships Entangle the United States in Conflict?

by Miranda Priebe

Strengthening U.S. security relationships is a core element of the Biden administration's foreign policy.

Others dismiss these concerns. In this report, RAND researchers assess the evidence for these competing claims.
