The End of the Pax Americana?

The changing role of the U.S. in global affairs and its impact on world peace and stability, with Andrew Bacevich, Professor Emeritus of International Relations and History, Boston University, and Michael Desch, Founding Director of the Notre Dame International Security Center, moderated by Paolo Carozza, Professor of Law and Director of the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, the University of Notre Dame

Since World War II, the U.S. has played a key role in the global defense of freedom, stability, and peace. Several events in the past few years indicate that this role is rapidly changing. Getting to the real truth of things is more necessary than ever, especially in light of convenient falsehoods that have been sometimes used in the past to bolster support for misguided foreign policies. Are we at the end of the Pax Americana? What is the status of U.S. foreign policy, its priorities, and future direction? How can American families’ everyday lives be affected by these changes? These are some questions that will be addressed during the event.
