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?

Join the Oxford University International Relations Society for a fireside chat with Professor Joseph Nye, one of the most influential thinkers in international relations, as he reflects on Trump’s impact on American power, the evolving nature of global leadership, and what lies ahead for the international system.

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