AMERICAN EMPIRE: FROM OBAMA TO TRUMP
December 8, 2017 - Washington, D.C.
One year into Donald Trump’s presidency, we look at the political
patterns that have emerged on an international scale and the lessons we
can draw from them. What impact has the Trump administration had on the
rest of the world and what can we do to counter his politics?
Providing a critical analysis of US foreign policy and its global
impacts, this conference brings together internationally known analysts
and activists to discuss core strategic questions of importance to the
international community. How has American Empire changed in the
transition from Obama to Trump? And is Trump a passing phenomenon or is
he a harbinger of a more permanent shift in global politics?
Engaging differing visions of America’s role in the world under Trump,
we address issues of global power relations, resurgent nationalism,
right-wing populism, and climate change. In active support of
progressive civil society, “American Empire: From Obama to Trump” seeks
to foster a space for exchange to build toward an international
resistance movement.
The conference is co-convened by the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung—New York
Office and the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS).
