The conference series on The Global Futures of World Regions focuses on the New Europe, the New America, the New Asias, and the meta-region of the New Third Worlds. The New America Conference is the second in this series. Like the other conferences, it seeks to assess the globality of a major world region for com-parative purposes and to develop an understanding of the regional grounding of contemporary globalizations.
The end of the Cold War has made the United States the foremost global power and the ongoing war in Iraq has put the "new" America on the agenda of much general and professional reasoning. The future development of the US has become an issue of global concern. Is the US going to position herself in the global community as an imperial power or a first among equals? How does the New America appear in political, historical, economic and cultural perspective?
Bringing leading scholars and diplomats with various disciplinary, national, and international backgrounds together in Berlin, The New America Conference will shed light on the dynamics, contradictions and possibilities of the United States as a critical global power.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
