They Don't Like Us: Global Attitudes Toward the U.S. and Other World Powers

The U.S. and western democracies have drawn the envy of the world for their prosperity and freedom. The terrorist attacks on 9/11 and the response of the U.S. in Afghanistan and Iraq has precipitated a sharp down turn in approval and respect for the U.S. around the globe.  Andrew Kohut, director of the most extensive global surveys of public attitudes toward the United States, will report on his latest findings and their implications for America’s future foreign policy.  Humphrey School's Dean and former administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development during the Clinton administration, J. Brian Atwood, will moderate this event.
