Description

The Joe Biden administration faces major global challenges, from great power competition with China and Russia, to the aftermath of the Taliban victory in Afghanistan, to climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, American politics continues to be deeply divided with fears of political violence at home. One year into his presidency, what is the emerging Biden doctrine? At a defining moment in U.S. history, can Biden rally Americans around a foreign policy to protect the nation's interests and values? WorldDenver, the Foothills World Affairs Council, and the Colorado Springs World Affairs Council welcome Dr. Dominic Tierney and Dr. Marie Berry to revisit the Biden Doctrine a year into Biden's presidency.
