Is America a mini power after withdrawal from Afghanistan?

from The Global Agora · host Andrej Matisak

What does Afghanistan withdrawal means for international politics? Is America still a superpower? And what is and could be the role of Europe in all of this? ,,There is no military power that can stand up to United States in a head to head competition. Having said that, if we measure power by your ability to get what you want, the United States is weaker because it doesn't know what it wants." This is a observation from Erik Jones, the new Director of the Robert Schuman Centre at the European University Institute. How relevant is these day his book Weary Policeman: American Power in an Age of Austerity that he coauthored in 2012? Listen to our conversation.
