| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The United States is in a unique position today of leading without a remotely credible challenger anywhere in the world (akin to the leadership challenges of the kind the Soviet Union posed during the Cold War, or the great powers did to each other until 1945). Accordingly, enemies have to be manufactured in order to convince the rest of the world to remain in line, and that must always generate instability and conflict. The threat to world peace lies in the American capacity and compulsion to lead the world and a virtually worldwide demand that it should do so. Multipolarity is neither more rational nor necessarily preferable, despite its apparent attractions. The Trilateral must insert itself strictly within these circumstances thus obtained. |
