📖 Description
The measurement of the global balance of power focuses on the paradigm shift from the United States post-September 11th, 2001 preemptive doctrine of unilateralism to one of partnerships and cooperations in a modern multilateral order. Although the challenge to the unilateral doctrine brought to light new actors on the global political and economical stage, American military might remains to be superior and incontestable.
The book begins with a literature review and conceptualization of world orders using contemporary scholarly analysis. American hegemony in the post-September 11th, 2001 and the global response to the preemptive doctrine are pondered: the book theorized the emerging assertive Russia, the rising Iran, Latin American and African fronts, nuclear proliferation, and the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China.
Finally, the book carefully analyzed the 2008 election of President Barack Obama and the subsequent redefinition of American foreign policy to one of partnerships and corperations as an antidote to global security and economic prosperity.
