Time: 5.30pm
Free of charge

Professor Joseph Nye is University Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus at Harvard and former Dean of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. He is one of the world’s leading scholars of international relations.

Professor Nye will attempt to condense what has happened to US power over the past century, from US primacy on the global stage after World War II, crucial challenges the country has faced, to the changing nature of American hard and soft power today and whether China’s rise spells America’s decline.

All are welcome, whether in person at Cohen Quad, or online.
