| Topic: A New Monroe Doctrine? |
|---|
| From Cuba and Venezuela to Greenland and the Panama Canal, recent U.S. actions raise a larger question: can any country still claim a sphere of influence in a globalized world? What would such a strategy mean for U.S. foreign policy, America’s competitors, and the future of the Western Hemisphere? This is a no-homework event, but supplemental readings will be provided to attendees |
