The 2016 Election:
Implications for U. S. Foreign Policy
This year, the world is in an unusually unstable condition. Hence, the next president will be confronted with a wide range of critical questions. Just for starters:
- How will the U.S. approach terrorism, fed by violent forces with apocalyptic visions that fill political vacuums across the Middle East and North Africa?
- Will the U.S. continue to support Afghanistan and Iraq in their fights against the Taliban and the Islamic State?
- How will the new president deal with a resurgent Russia and an assertive China, with so much at stake in both Europe and Asia? Is there a diplomatic solution to the conflicting territorial claims in the South China Sea, for instance, or is it likely that China and the United States will experience a further deterioration in their relations because of differing national security interests?
- Will the U.S. continue to support its far-flung alliances in Europe and in Northeast Asia in the face of growing nationalist voices in those countries?
- What approach will the new president take on pressing global issues such as climate change, trade, or nuclear proliferation?
Keynote Speaker: Steve Clemons
