How to Restore the American Center — Foreign Policy

Author, identified as executive director of the Center on International Cooperation at New York University and a former Kenyan ambassador to the United Nations

Martin Kimani's own contribution to Foreign Policy's Fall 2024 print cover package, "Letters to the Next President," in which the magazine asked nine thinkers from around the world to write a letter of advice to the next U.S. president. Kimani's letter, "How to Restore the American Center," draws on Kenya's experience of political violence, disinformation, and bridge-building to argue for a path out of American hyperpartisanship.
