2022 Policy Conference Overview
June 12, 2022 @ 5:30 pm - June 14, 2022 @ 10:00 am
The conference explored pressing topics related to the multi-faceted nature of American grand strategy. These topics included: What’s Next in Ukraine?, the Future of Democracy at Home and Abroad, Great Power Conflict, and U.S. Military Strategy and Reform.
America is dually encountering a domestic partisan divide and rising tensions in foreign arenas. For America to maintain a coherent grand strategy, it must not only address conflicts abroad but also reconcile its domestic disagreements. In view of this, the America in the World Consortium hosted its annual conference to highlight methods for mending political polarization and equipping American strategic measures to expand global engagement. By understanding the interlocking nature of domestic realities and international ambitions, America can avoid seeing through a glass darkly and, instead, further establish its role in the world.
