US must "change the way it uses its power"

A major new Chatham House report offers an in-depth analysis of the Obama administrations ambitions to renew US leadership in the world. It explores how the Obama administration can promote US global leadership at a time when many of the pillars of its international role have been weakened. The report concludes that America must change the way it uses its power. The spread of democracy that US governments have championed over recent decades - and that reinforces its claim to international leadership - has stalled. The invasion of Iraq in 2003 has left the US directly entangled in the instability of Middle East rather than an external contributor to its security. Further, China and the EU are challenging US leadership regionally and on global issues such as climate change and international financial coordination. Press TV's Uzma Hussain reports.
