Robert Kagan
What would the world look like if America were to reduce its role as a global leader in order to focus all its energies on solving its problems at home? And is America really in decline? Robert Kagan, ,New York Times, best-selling author and one of the countryâ€™s most influential strategic thinkers, paints a vivid, alarming picture of what the world might look like if the United States were truly to let its influence wane., Â , Although Kagan asserts that much of the current pessimism is misplaced, he warns that if America were indeed to commit â€œpreemptive superpower suicide,â€ the world would see the return of war among rising nations as they jostle for power; the retreat of democracy around the world as Vladimir Putinâ€™s Russia and authoritarian China acquire more clout; and the weakening of the global free-market economy, which the United States created and has supported for more than sixty years. Weâ€™ve seen this beforeâ€”in the breakdown of the Roman Empire and the collapse of the European order in World War I., Â , Potent, incisive, and engaging, ,The World America Made, is a reminder that the American world order is worth preserving, and America dare not decline.
