Since 1945, the United States has pursued its interests through the creation and maintenance of international economic institutions, global organizations, bilateral and regional security organizations, and liberal political norms that collectively are often referred to as the international order. This report evaluates the order's value, assessing its role in promoting U.S. goals and interests, as well as shared global objectives.

The authors analyze the prospect that Iran will further invest in Yemen's Houthis and develop them into an enduring proxy group. The authors examine the Houthi movement's history, the Houthis' current relations with Iran, Iran's history of proxy development, and the trajectory of the Houthi-Iran relationship, and then pose scenarios for the future. The report should be of interest to a wide audience in the foreign policy and defense community.

This volume of the Future of Warfare series explains six geopolitical trends—U.S. polarization and retrenchment, China’s rise, Asia’s realignment, emergence of a revanchist Russia, upheaval in Europe, and turmoil in the Islamic world—that will drive conflict between now and 2030. These trends will shift U.S. alliances; pull limited resources in different directions; and, ultimately, create a deepening strategic dilemma for U.S. defense strategy.
