Sixth seminar organised by IFRI and the French-American Foundation.

Today, he is striving to deliver health care reform, climate change and financial regulation legislation while dealing with two wars in the midst of one of the largest crises that the world has ever known. Is this the beginning of the decline and erosion to the U.S. position as a world superpower?
