Udine, Vicino/lontano 2015 - Friday 8 May US CONFIDENTIAL. HOW AMERICA WORKS Lectio magistralis by LUCIO CARACCIOLO Introduced by GUGLIELMO CEVOLIN In collaboration with LiMes and Gruppo Historia With the support of Amga At dawn on 11 September 2001, America opened its eyes to a world that it apparently dominated and from which it could not be threatened. A few hours later, the attack on the Twin Towers threw it into fear. Since then, the United States has been at war. The longest war in its history, with no end in sight. The United States of America is still the world's leading power and everyone is interested in how it acts on the international chessboard. But what and how much do we know about how the United States works internally? The latest volume of Limes, US Confidential is dedicated to analyzing the political-institutional mechanisms that generate the international actions of the star-spangled power. A way to better understand the American trajectory, which so often crosses ours. Lucio Caracciolo - He directs the geopolitical magazines LiMes and Heartland.
