Debating America’s Role in the World

Debating America’s Role in the World

From 2017 to 2019, the Brookings Institution’s Foreign Policy program and the Charles Koch Institute convened a series of thematic debates on America’s role in the world, hosted in cities around the United States. With the onset of COVID-19 in 2020, the series moved to a shortened, online format. To join our mailing list and learn more about the series, please sign up here.
