A nation must think before it acts.
About the Event
The Biden administration contends that we are at an “inflection point” in world affairs, with the United States engaged in a strategic competition with other major powers, especially China, to determine the shape of the mid-21st century global order. But what does “strategic competition” entail? How should it guide US foreign policy in different parts of the world, including Europe, the Indo-Pacific, and the Middle East? How can we prevent strategies of competition from becoming self-fulfilling prophecies of conflict? Orbis contributors Asha Castleberry-Hernandez and Ali Wyne join Orbis editor Nikolas Gvosdev to discuss.
Read Asha Castleberry-Hernandez's "The US Response to China's Strategic Competition in the Middle East and North Africa" in the Winter 2023 Edition of Orbis.
