Does a "national interest" articulated largely from a Washington, DC perspective connect with the "doorstep" interests and concerns of citizens across a large and diverse country? As we come to the end of several important cycles in world affairs—the close of the post-Cold War era and the beginning of the Fourth Industrial Revolution—Doorstep co-hosts Nick Gvosdev and Tatiana Serafin look at a new generation of Americans, who are working to redefine the goals and purpose of U.S. global engagement.

What are the ripple effects of the simultaneous challenges related to the “polycrises” (environmental shifts, including extreme weather, food and water shortages, and pandemics)? As the U.S. undergoes demographic change, what sorts of shifts in U.S. foreign policy might we expect?

This live episode of The Doorstep was recorded on September 28, 2023 at Metropolitan State University of Denver, with collaboration from the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver.
