About this report
The United States, the sole superpower in a rapidly
changing and uncertain age, is struggling to find its place in a world
that complains of its might, wealth and influence but wants to benefit
from those very things.
Why is the United States hated in some parts of the world and viewed with
a mixture of suspicion and admiration in much of the rest? Are opinions
about America based on its policies or on reactions to its prosperity
and military power?
GNS correspondents Jon Frandsen,
Carl Weiser and Greg
Barrett spent two months reporting from Washington and Egypt on how
the United States views its role in the world and how the world views
it. The series lays out the conundrum facing the country, the pressure
America faces from its allies and the reasons for the hatred expressed
by its enemies.
The series also includes photos by Heather
Martin Morrissey and interactive graphics by the Gannett News Service
graphics staff and GNS technology editor Leonard Fischer.
Site design and production by Leonard
