Summary:

Currently, the United States holds much of the economic and political power in the world and is a primary force of geopolitical stability. This situation is not expected to last indefinitely, however, as China and the European Union grow in influence. In this volume, seven contributions from international scholars discuss the consequences of a transition from a unipolar international system to a world of multiple centers of power. Annotation c.
