The future of America's alliances USSC Live

    • Non-Profit

It is nearly thirty years after the end of the Cold War. Amidst China’s rise and Russia’s revanchism, and in a historic moment of crisis, will American policymakers reconceive the role alliances should play in 21st century national security strategy and recapture one of the country’s great strategic successes? Or will they let them wither? How will this affect Australia?

In her new book, Shields of the Republic: The Triumph and Peril of America's Alliances, Mira Rapp-Hooper reveals the remarkable and unheralded success of the United States’ alliance system, charts its dangerous strategic drift, and proposes an agenda for its renewal.

To discuss these issues, USSC hosted a webinar event featuring Dr Mira Rapp-Hooper, Senior Fellow for Asia Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations in conversation with Dr Charles Edel, Senior Fellow at the US Studies Centre and Dr John Lee, Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the US Studies Centre.
