America's Rise to Supremacy
Sponsored by the Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center

Monday, April 5
3:00 pm Eastern

As the United States grapples with a world changed by a rapidly rising China—and considers its own role by questioning how and why it grew into a postwar "superpower," Yale's Paul Kennedy and Quincy Institute's Stephen Wertheim will discuss the latter's new book Tomorrow, the World: The Birth of U.S. Global Supremacy. Moderated by Graham Allison, these scholars will contextualize America's global role today, exploring how and why, as it prepared to enter World War II, the United States decided to lead the postwar world.
