Next week, Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States of America. He promises that after four years of the Trump administration, during which the influence and credibility of the United States in the world diminished, America will re-dedicate itself to “mobilizing collective action to meet new threats, especially those unique to this century.”
Will the United States return to its leadership role in the world and become an “indispensable nation” again, as coined by then-U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright more than 20 years ago? How will America’s renewed commitment to allies and partners, particularly in Europe and NATO, shape the world during Biden’s term? What does Europe expect from this administration? What could America and Europe do to better harmonize their respective stances towards China, Russia, Iran, and the Middle East, and when facing other global challenges?
This event on Thursday, January 14th, is organized by of the Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM) based in Warsaw, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars based in Washington, DC.

Global Europe Program
The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe” – an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
