The Next American Century

Can the U.S. Thrive in a New Era of Big Powers?

Moderated by Kal Raustiala, Director of the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations

America’s way of life will undoubtedly be affected by the rise of other global powers in this century — like China and India — but we are at a rare moment in history in which none of the world’s big powers is our adversary. Nina Hachigian and Mona Sutphen, co-authors of The Next American Century: How the U.S. Can Thrive As Other Powers Rise, visit Zócalo to discuss how the U.S. can thrive in an age of multiple powers. They argue the U.S. must welcome emerging nations into a vigorous international order to share the burden of solving pressing global problems of peace, climate, health, and growth.
