How has America’s international image changed since U.S. President Joe Biden took office? And what do people in other nations think about American culture and society and the current state of U.S. politics? To explore these questions, Pew Research Center conducted a survey of 17 international publics. The findings highlight the complexity of America’s international image: while global publics find much to admire about the U.S., they see many problems as well.

On November 16, 2021, Pew Research Center’s director of global attitudes research Richard Wike will discuss the key findings from this study and from the Center’s work on this topic over the past two decades. Joining him for this conversation is Jay Wang, director of the USC Center on Public Diplomacy (CPD).
