When did America become a truly global power? What are the motivations that led the United States to engage in distant and, in some cases, relatively unknown countries? This seminar focuses on the 1970s as a key moment in the making of America’s global role. The discussions will assess the legacies of the past, and their meaning and relevance for the shaping of current US policies in the former third world.
