The Obama Doctrine
As President Obama's time in the White House draws to a close, how should we judge his foreign policy?
When Obama first came to office there was a huge amount of global expectation riding on his foreign policy. He promised to heal the breach with the Islamic world, restore Americaβs good name, and fight fewer wars. But as his time in the White House draws to a close, how should we judge Obamaβs record?
Is the world a safer place now than when he took office? And behind all the policy making, is there an over-riding vision β what commentators have called βan Obama doctrineβ? Join Owen Bennett-Jones and a panel of global experts, as they discuss President Obamaβs foreign policy legacy and Americaβs place in the world today.
