The United States has long been seen as the anchor of the international order. But with Donald Trump’s return to the political spotlight, many are asking whether the era of American global leadership—often called the "American Century"—is coming to an end. How might a second Trump presidency reshape U.S. foreign policy, alliances, and the future of global stability?

This event is open to all members of Oxford International Relations Society.
