In 2013,Slaughter was named president and CEO of the New America Foundation,a think-tank based in Washington,D.C.[26]
In 2017,The New York Times[27] alleged that Slaughter had closed the Open Markets research group and dismissed its director Barry Lynn because he had criticized Google,a major donor of New America,and called for it to be broken up.[28] Slaughter denied that Open Markets was closed because of pressure from Google and said Lynn was dismissed because he had "repeatedly violated the standards of honesty and good faith with his colleagues."[29] New America co-chair Jonathan Soros wrote in a letter that Google had neither "attempted to interfere" nor "threaten[ed] funding" over Open Markets research critical of monopolies.[30] In a letter to New America's board and leadership,25 former and current New America fellows said that although they had "never experienced any efforts by donors or managers at New America to influence [their] work," they "were troubled by the initial lack of transparency and communication from New America's leadership" and "remained deeply concerned about this sequence of events".[31]
Slaughter has participated in Dialog,a secretive,invite-only social club founded by Peter Thiel and Auren Hoffman.[32]

Slaughter has written extensively on European Union politics,network theories of world politics,transjudicial communication,liberal theories of international law and international relations,American foreign policy,international law,and various types of policy analysis.

John Ikenberry,Thomas J. Knock,and Tony Smith) (2008),as well as three edited volumes on international relations and international law,and over one hundred extended articles in scholarly and policy journals or books.[33]
The article in The Atlantic became the basis of the 2015 book Unfinished Business:Women Men Work Family.[34] The book argues that a number of challenges remain for the women's movement in the US. It allows her to expands on her position in the article and respond to her critics. In Unfinished Business,she attempts to create a framework to understand the problems faced by all working parents,not just women.[35]
