The United States’ role in the world has undergone some profound changes lately. Its status of an international leader, the great power in a unipolar world and a global agenda-setter has been increasingly questioned and challenged both domestically and internationally. One can speak of an ongoing global structure shift where transformations within and around the United States warrant close attention and careful analysis. The IIP has launched a series of discussions titled USA and the World that aim to shed some light on such pressing issues as the status of arms control negotiations, the transatlantic relations, and the upcoming presidential elections in the United States.

Other planned discussions in the series USA and the World include:

1 October: The Future of Arms Control and Multilateralism

15 October: The Future of Transatlantic Relations under a new US Administration

5 November: Die USA nach den Präsidentschaftswahlen [in German]
