ABSTRACT: For as long as the United States has engaged in international affairs, leading officials, scholars, and experts have often disagreed on the extent of the role the country should play on the global stage.  In an era of policymaking driven by the mantra “America First,” questions regarding the place of the United States in the international order have taken on renewed gravity.  What exactly is the place of the United States in the international order?  Does the United States have the ability to maneuver itself completely at will?  And, ultimately, should the United States take a more active or reserved approach to foreign policy in the context of the current global environment?  Join the NCAFP as we host a conversation between two of the leading minds debating these questions, and many more, on the international role of the United States.
