Schieffer Series: The Syria Withdrawal and Next Steps

Please join us for this season's next installment of the Schieffer Series, "Confronting the Challenges of Trade in a New Century." Since the end of the Second World War, the status quo on trade has allowed global commerce and prosperity to flourish. The United States led the establishment of this status quo, wielding its unmatched economic strength with strong policy leadership to create an international consensus. Today, however, nearly 20 years into the 21 century, the world is being reshaped by accelerating technological advances and geopolitical shifts. The stability of the status quo is beginning to fracture. At home, the United States faces growing economic inequality and rapidly changing workforce needs. Abroad, economic competitors are growing into rivals, threatening American economic leadership on the world stage. These developments create challenges to U.S. economic leadership with roots at home and abroad.
