With military problems abroad and political stalemates at home, the United States is facing challenging times.  Some historians and pundits argue the United States is in decline, comparing it to the Roman Empire in its final years.  Can the United States preserve its status as the world's sole superpower?  If not, how will it have to adjust its global strategy?   And can U.S. engagements and activities abroad today affect the trajectory of U.S. power?  Please join YPFP New York to explore these and other issues with renowned scholar Paul Kennedy, J. Richardson Dilworth Professor of History and Director of the International Security Studies program at Yale University.

The discussion will be held from 6:30-8:00 pm at 522 5th Avenue, 7th Floor Auditorium on Thursday, October 4th.  This event marks the inaugural event of the New York branch of Young Professionals in Foreign Policy. For more information, please contact Laura Keating at Laura.Keating@ypfp.org.
