![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He tries to make a point that the world is in transition, both economically, politically and militarily. To smooth out the transition, he recommends America to not be Britain (during its imperial rule and how it got diminished), but be Bismark, who tried to project Germany as the center of engagement in power (America has to become the pivot of world’s international system). It will just have to live with a little bit of diminished influence (political and economic) but still will wield the most power to influence global politics and economics. His main point, commonly sensed and very true, is that America’s superpower status (and ability to influence global diplomacy, economics and military power) is waning as the rest of the world rises, both economically and politically, but no country will replace America as the superpower.

It is quite an interesting and easy to read book. ![]() I just finished reading Fareed Zakaria’s book The Post-American World and the Rise of the Rest. ![]()
