2020 has thrown out the rule book for presidential election campaigning, tanked global economies, stoked international competition and suspicion and unleashed a hellish pandemic which has disrupted the whole world order. This will all culminate in a US presidential election which will likely be the most consequential in living memory, affecting the future course of America's democracy and the United States' role in the world for the next four years and beyond. What is the trajectory of American politics, power and prestige? How have the 2020 forces of disruption changed the future? What does this mean for Australia? To discuss these and other issues, please join us for a webinar event featuring Pulitzer prize-winning author and New York Times journalist Thomas Friedman in conversation with United States Studies Centre Non-resident Senior Fellow Bruce Wolpe and CEO Professor Simon Jackman.
