DEBATING A POST-AMERICAN WORLD

The United States is currently the linchpin of global trade, technology, and finance, and a military colossus, extending across the world with a network of bases and alliances. This book anticipates the possible issues raised by a transition between American dominance and the rise of alternative powers.

While a post-American world need not be any different than that of today, the risk associated with such a change provides ample reason for attentive study. Divided into four parts, 50 international relations scholars explore and discuss:

Power transitions: addressing issues including the rise of China, the passing of American primacy, and the endurance of American leadership.

War and peace: addressing nuclear weapons, the risk of war, security privatization, and global insecurity.

Global governance: addressing competition, trade, the United Nations, sovereignty, humanitarian intervention, law, and power.

Energy and the environment: addressing resource conflict, petrol, climate change, and technology.

This unique project offers a compilation of disparate arguments by scholars and policy practitioners, encompassing a plurality of disciplines and theoretical perspectives. By providing clarity and focus to this essential debate on the future of the world in the next several decades, Debating a Post-American World will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations and global politics, American politics, US foreign policy, and international security.

Sean Clark and Sabrina Hoque are PhD candidates in International Relations and Doctoral Fellows at the Centre for Foreign Policy Studies at Dalhousie University, Canada.

This series reflects the broadening conceptions of security and the growing nexus between the study of governance issues and security issues. The topics covered in the series range from issues relating to the management of terrorism and political violence, non-state actors, transnational security threats, migration, borders, and homeland security to questions surrounding weak and failing states, post-conflict reconstruction, the evolution of regional and international security institutions, energy and environmental security, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Particular emphasis is placed on publishing theoretically informed scholarship that elucidates the governance mechanisms, actors and processes available for managing issues in the new security environment.
