US Omnipotence: What Lies Ahead?

The US is taking the lead on many different fronts. This omnipotence is increasingly contested. In this session, non-US voices will present their perception of US policies.
The agenda points are:
1) How does the world perceive the US?
2) What might be the consequences of a rise of anti-American sentiment?
3) Will the US remain the dominant world power for the century to come?
