Global Leadership: Who’s Next? A JCC Roundtable Discussion
Interested in taking a deeper dive into foreign affairs? Join us for an engaging discussion with renowned international economist David Cheney. David will circulate readings in advance and lead an interactive conversation on the changes to the US-led “liberal democratic order” that prevailed after WWII until the early 2000s.

This US-led world order upheld democracy and brought rapid economic globalization, helping billions of people around the world become wealthier, healthier, and better educated–but it also left many working-class people behind. A series of crises have also eroded US credibility and clout in the world over the last 15 years. Can the US lead the world order again and if not– who will?
