| Summary/Abstract |
In 2010, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced her goal of “transforming both State and USAID,” the U.S. Agency for International Development, in order to “build up our civilian power.” Declaring that “non-state actors … are playing an ever-greater role in international affairs,” Secretary Clinton was keen to “leverage civilian power by connecting businesses, philanthropists, and citizens’ groups … to perform tasks that governments alone cannot.” According to Secretary Clinton, these “forward-deployed” transnational activists would “advance America’s interests and help make a world in which more people in more places can live in freedom.”
