Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good/Very Good. The conclusion of the Cold War is commonly presumed to mark the ultimate tr iumph of liberal democracy and capitalism, bringing to a close the world's last great ideological divide. Privileged by its commanding economic and mi litary strength, the United States is destined to preside over this new cen tury, clearing the way for a dur-able era of great-power peace and prosperi ty. In a work of remarkable scope, Charles A. Kup-chan exposes the flaws in thi s conventional wisdom, revealing that the close of the Cold War heralded no t America's final victory but the beginning of the demise of its global dom inance. He contends that the next challenge to America is fast emerging. It comes not from the Islamic world or from an ascendant China, but from an i ntegrating Europe, whose economy already rivals America's. As the European Union seeks influence commensurate with its economic status, it will inevit ably rise as a counterweight to the United States. America and Europe are p arting ways, the discord extending well beyond the realm of trade. Decades of strategic partnership are giving way to renewed geopolitical competition . Kupchan argues that the unraveling of American primacy will be expedited by growing opposition at home to the country's burdensome role as global guardian. Although temporarily reawakened by terrorism, America's appetite for international engagement is on the wane; the country's historic aversion toward foreign entanglements is making a comeback. Returning as well is America's fondness for unilateral action, alienating the partners with whom Washington will need to work to bring together an increasingly divided.
