The Rise and Decline of the American "e;Empire"e; explores the rapidly growing        literature on the rise and fall of the United States. The author argues that after        1945 the US has definitely been the most dominant power the world has seen and that        it has successfully met the challenges from, first, the Soviet Union and, then,        Japan, and the European Union. Now, however, the United States is in decline: its        vast military power is being challenged by asymmetrical wars, itseconomic growth is        slow and its debt is rising rapidly, the political system is proving unable to meet        these challenges in a satisfactory way. While the US is still likely to remain the        world's leading power for the foreseeable future, it is being challenged by China,        particularly economically, and also by severalother regional Great Powers.The book        also addresses the more theoretical question of what recent superpowers have been        able to achieve and what they have not achieved. How could the United States be both        the dominant power and at the same time suffer significant defeats? And how could        the Soviet Union suddenly collapse? No power has ever been omnipotent. It cannot        control events all around the world. The Soviet Union suffered from imperial        overstretch; the traditional colonial empires suffered from a growing lack        oflegitimacy at the international, national, and local levels. The United States has        been able to maintain its alliance system, but only in a much reformed way. If a        small power simply insists on pursuing its own very different policies, there is        normally little the United States and other Great Powers willdo. Military        intervention is an option that can be used only rarely and most often with        strikingly limited results.
