America Quo Vadis?

In this week of electoral frenzy in the United States, .think atlantic host Thibault Muzergues sits down with his guest Bruno Maçães, author of History has Begun: The Birth of a New America to reflect on the trajectory of the United States in the long-term, with a historical, philosophical, cultural but also political perspective.

What is the cultural and political relationship between America and Europe, how is America defining (or rather redefining) its identity, culture and politics in a changing world, and what does the future hold, irrespective of the result of the Presidential Elections? These and many other questions are the subject of this conversation between two Europeans deeply attached to America and the Transatlantic Relationship.

Bruno Maçães is a non-resident senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, a senior advisor at Flint Global and a senior fellow at Renmin University of China. Formerly Portugal’s Europe minister (2013–15), he has been a regular commentator for CNN, the BBC and Al Jazeera, and has written for the Financial Times, The Guardian and Foreign Affairs. He is the author of History Has Begun, The Dawn of Eurasia, and Belt and Road: A Chinese World Order.
