Fall State 2011 – The Power Paradigm: Our Role in a Changing World

Join us at the Fall State 2011 Convention: “The Power Paradigm: Our Role in a Changing World.” These overnight conventions for high school students interested in politics and government will be held in ten cities this November and December.

In an age of globalization defined by social revolution, economic turmoil and shifting political factions, we seek to define the “power paradigm” of the 21st century. From nations facing debt crises, to sweeping protests against oppressive regimes across the globe, where do American interests lie? Should we protect vested interests globally or begin to address our domestic challenges? Developing states are growing at an exponential rate and new powers emerge to dominate global politics, whereas the US has succumbed to a period of stagnation. Can America maintain its global stature as the prototypical nation for others to emulate? Where exactly does the power lie in our world today? In the face of political polarization, the Junior State of America assembles to address the underlying question: What role will America play in the power paradigm of the 21st century?
