The U.S. Elections on a Global Stage
October 30 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Americans will soon go to the polls to elect their next president and decide control of the House and Senate. In a year of numerous elections around the globe affecting roughly half of the world’s population, the U.S. elections will be a consequential capstone with the potential to significantly impact the crises, challenges, and opportunities currently facing the international community.
On October 30, the Reiss Center on Law and Security hosted a virtual discussion moderated by Reiss Center Non-Resident Senior Fellow Michael Wahid Hanna. An expert panel discussed what the upcoming elections mean for the international community and global institutions, considered how global issues may inform the elections, and examined potential shifts in future U.S. foreign policy depending on the outcome of the electoral contest. The panelists covered a wide range of regions and subjects, including the new normalcy of unpredictability, the visible risks of democratic instability, and the viability of the American “umbrella.”
