Title: Event | ISD and USIP Present The Ripple Effect: The Case for a New American Approach to Multilateralism – Tuesday, December 12, 4:00pm – 5:00pm

With the continued rise of middle powers and changing dynamics within multilateral institutions, the United States now finds itself in a new strategic environment, one defined by a global diffusion of power. Emerging powers show increasing agency and influence in geopolitical conflicts and challenges.
