Sixth seminar organised by IFRI and the French-American Foundation.
One year ago, Barack Obama took the oath of office as the 44th President of the United States. Today, he is striving to deliver health care reform, climate change and financial regulation legislation while dealing with two wars in the midst of one of the largest crises that the world has ever known. Is this the beginning of the decline and erosion to the U.S. position as a world superpower?

As such, it seems inexorably destined to (re)become an essential issue for the navies in charge of securing maritime activities.
