This working group assessed the phenomena of anti-Americanism around the world, its impact on U.S. national security and foreign policy, its causes, and what, if anything, policymakers can or should do to address it. The group tackled five areas: Scoping anti-Americanism; Defining anti-Americanism; Disaggregating Anti-Americanism; Assessing the Impact of Anti-Americanism; and Addressing Anti-Americanism. The group commissioned papers which explore the scope of anti-Americanism, its impact on economics, politics, and terrorism, and responses that have been proposed to date. The working group report was released in September 2005.
