Faced with an intensifying global polycrisis, the question of U.S. leadership is posed with new urgency. U.S. hegemony was born out of the challenges of the 20th century. It prevailed in the Cold War in Europe. In the 21st century, it is faced with challenges that put in question both its efficacy and its legitimacy at home and abroad. Those questions have been given further urgency by the reelection of Donald Trump. This lecture by Columbia historian Adam Tooze will offer an occasion to take stock.
