In this context, a number of questions arise as to the role and influence of the US in the world, militarily, economically and culturally. The current policies may change, but the question is how this will happen and how external actors will influence the process. 1) How will the situation in Iraq influence US elections? 2) What will the US foreign and economic policy be and what role will the US play after the elections?

![]() | Davos Annual Meeting 2008 - Believing in the Future http://www.weforum.org/annualmeeting 27.01.2008 Message from Davos: Believing in the Future Across multiple domains, humankind faces troubling contradictions about its future. The number of poor has fallen dramatically in Asia, but nearly doubled in Africa; the cold war has ended, but civil conflicts and nuclear powers have increased; and the more technology connects us, the less united we appear to act. What are the elements necessary to rebuild confidence in the future and to promote collaboration across economic, religious and political fault lines? In collaboration with CNN, you are invited to join a conversation that looks to the future and spans generations, interests and cultures to capture the insights, debates and discoveries of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2008.
