The International Relations and Security Network of ETH Zurich invites to a roundtable event on 9 October.

The ISN invites to hear and engage with four distinguished experts on the upcoming United States presidential election, its potential impact on American politics, and its possible impact on the future of US foreign and security policies. Some of the questions to be addressed include how are the candidates instrumentalizing current foreign affairs challenges in their election campaigns? To what extent can international developments influence the elections? What impact will the outcome of the elections have on U.S. international security and global stability?
