The Council on Foreign Relations at 100: The History

2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the Council on Foreign Relations.

The CFR’s mission, to provide the analysis and context necessary to inform America’s foreign policy choices and to increase public understanding of the world and why it matters, remains as urgent today as at any time in the past century.
