Global Role of the USA Fresh Outlook Last Fall’s G-20 summit seemed to underscore the fact that the United States is no longer the power it once was. To regain respect requires tackling some huge issues: the economy, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, our dependence on foreign oil, crime at home. It also requires that when it comes to how we view and interact with the rest of the world. Has the United States of America, once “the leader of the free world,” actually lost its edge? In short, has the world’s biggest superpower lost its grip? Some serious questions on this Fresh Outlook about the global role and position of the USA. Studio Guests: Giulio Gallarotti is a professor of government at Wesleyan University and the author of “The Power Curse: Influence and Illusion in World Politics & Cosmopolitan Power In International Relations.” Roland Anglin the Executive Director of the Initiative for Regional and Community Transformation at Rutgers University. visit website
