For a decade America’s share of the global economy has been in decline. Its diplomatic alliances are under immense strain, and any claim of moral leadership has been abandoned. America is still a colossus, possessing half the world’s manufacturing capacity, nearly half its military forces, and a formidable system of global surveillance and covert operations. But even at its peak it may have been sowing the seeds of its own destruction.
Is it realistic to rely on the global order established after World War II, or are we witnessing the changing of the guard, with China emerging as the world’s economic and military powerhouse? America clings to its superpower status, but for how much longer?

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. As the dust settled after World War II, America controlled half the worlds manufacturing capacity. By the end of the Cold War it possessed nearly half the planets military forces, spread across eight hundred bases, and much of its wealth. Beyond what was on display, the United States had also built a formidable diplomatic and clandestine apparatus. Indeed, more than anything else, it is this secretive tier of global surveillance and covert operations that distinguishes the US from the great empires of the past. But even as it has secured an unrivalled power network through satellites, drones and cyberwarfare, recent years have seen Americas share of the global economy diminish, its diplomatic alliances falter and its claim to moral leadership abandoned. Meanwhile, China is emerging as the worlds economic powerhouse, poised to integrate the world island stretching from Shanghai to Madrid and lay claim to the South China Sea. The nineteenth century belonged to Britain and the twentieth to America. Will China take the twenty-first? The essential guide to how American foreign policy shaped the world and where it's left us Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Zustand: New. The end of Cold War in 1991 left the United States the world's sole superpower. Drawing on a lifetime's study and experience, one of its leading historians analyses the nature of that power, and traces its decline through inconclusive wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, disengagement from international alliances, growing inequality at home, and the seemingly inexorable rise of China.
