Overview
The U.S. Role in a Changing World helps students reflect on global changes, assess national priorities, and decide for themselves the role the United States should play in the world today.
For many, the attacks of September 11th, 2001 brought home the importance of international issues. The war in Iraq has added to the immediacy of international issues. While questions about terrorism and security are high on the list of concerns, other issues also clamor for attention. A changing global economy, the threat of climate change, and the spread of HIV/AIDS are on policymakers' radar screens.
Readings
