America and the world
As America prepares for a presidential election, the country faces fundamental questions about its role on the world stage, the strength of its democracy and the future of its economic power. Join our journalists for in-person events on the forces that will shape America in 2024 and beyond.

China, Russia and the new geopolitics
Artillery fire in Europe and a new cold war between the world's two largest economies-not long ago, both would have seemed far-fetched. Yet Russia's war in Ukraine drags on. President Xi Jinping wants a new world order, with China at its helm. What does China and Russia's deepening alliance mean for the United States? How do America's allies view its global leadership? And how might the presidential election change the future of American power?
