Would you say that America's place in world affairs reflects its economic position? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

America's economic position is that of the wealthiest and largest consumer nation in the world.  So whether you think that is reflected in world affairs depends on what you think our role should be.  We're generally viewed as a very isolationist country that only gets involved when something affects us directly.  That's why they put the U.N. headquarters in New York instead of Brussels, but we found a way to ignore them anyway.
