DESCRIPTION:Is American influence in Asia and around the world set to decline? In the 
 years following the global financial crisis, the US has increasing ceded 
 its leadership in the world, while China has rushed in to fill the gap left 
 behind. Based on the inward-looking economic nationalism of the Trump 
 administration, some say this trend is poised to accelerate.\n\nGideon 
 Rachman, chief foreign affairs columnist for the Financial Times, terms 
 this phenomenon “Easternization” - the tectonic shift of the world’s 
 center of gravity from West to East, and from the US to China. Though 
 obscured by the headlines of the day, in the not-so-distant future we may 
 come to view this, as Rachman does, as the momentous transformation of the 
 young century.\n\nHow is the growing wealth of Asian nations transforming 
 the international balance of power? Will Trump’s temperament lead to war 
 or peace with Asian nations? After striving for years to be a part of 
 Europe, is Russia now returning to its Asian roots? How would a shift to 
 the East shape all of our lives? This event is co-organized with the 
 Mechanics Institute.\n\nSPEAKER:\nGideon Rachman\nChief Foreign Affairs 
 Commentator, Financial Times\n
