Rethinking American Power
Before 9/11, the US strode the global stage as the world's sole superpower. A decade later, many believe the eagle has been mortally wounded by the one-two punch of 9/11 and the global financial crisis. Three prominent American, Australian and European voices assess the US's changing global role.
Speakers:

- Robert Kaplan, National Correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly; Senior Fellow at the Center for a New American Security; and author of Monsoon: The Indian Ocean and the Future of American Power
- Anatol Lieven, Professor of War Studies, King's College London; Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation; and author of Pakistan: A Hard Country
Moderator:
- James Fallows, Chair in US Media, United States Studies Centre; and National Correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly
