2008 is an important presidential election year in the US. In this context, a number of questions arise as to the role and influence of the US in the world, militarily, economically and culturally. The current policies may change, but the question is how this will happen and how external actors will influence the process.
- How will the situation in Iraq influence US elections?
- What will be US foreign and economic policy and what role will the US play after the elections? How will it impact other regions and countries, including Russia?
- Besides the debates on US foreign policy, what are areas of interest in economic and social policies?
