While the U.S. remains the world's strongest military and economic power, its place and role on the international stage is shifting. There are potentially dramatic implications for international peace and security from a U.S. foreign policy that is increasingly inward-looking, less predictable, less multilateral, and more reliant on the threat or use of military force to achieve its objectives. In 2017, Crisis Group established its first program dedicated to analysing U.S. policy, understanding who makes and shapes it, and offering recommendations to help guide its trajectory.
In this episode of Ripple Effect, Stephen Pomper and Michael Hanna are joined by Norm Eisen, senior fellow at Brookings and legal expert, to break down the various criminal and civil cases underway against Donald Trump and whether their outcome might prove decisive for the November elections.
CrisisWatch is our global conflict tracker, an early warning tool designed to help prevent deadly violence.

In addition, CrisisWatch monitors over 50 situations (“standby monitoring”) to offer timely information if developments indicate a drift toward violence or instability. Entries dating back to 2003 provide easily searchable conflict histories.
