Aftermath: President Obama's Election Victory and the Future of the Empire

Our main goal this quarter will be to investigate the extent to which the imploding global economy has and will affect the planet’s geopolitical landscape. And, how persuasive can Barack Obama be internationally in an environment in which every national economy is busy trying to save itself? Finally, will these domestic and international pressures foster or impede America’s ongoing imperial project in an Obama administration?
