What would the planet appear to be if America were to lessen its role as a global leader in order to focus all its energies on handling its problems at home? Which is America really in decline? Robert Kagan, New York Times best-selling creator and one of the country's most influential strategic thinkers, paints a brilliant, alarming picture of the actual world might appear to be if the United States were truly to let its affect wane. Although Kagan asserts that much of the current pessimism is misplaced, he warns that if America were indeed to commit "preemptive superpower suicide", the planet would start to see the return of war among rising nations as they jostle for electric power; the retreat of democracy round the world, as Vladimir Putin's Russia and authoritarian China acquire more clout; and the weakening of the global free-market current economic climate, which the USA created and has supported for more than 60 years. We've seen this before-in the breakdown of the Roman Empire and the collapse of the Western order in World Conflict I. Effective, incisive, and interesting, The World America Made is a reminder that the American world order will probably be worth conserving, and America dare not decline.
