| Summary / Abstract (Note) | A QUESTION haunts America: Is it in decline on the world scene? Foreign-policy discourse is filled with commentary declaring that it is. Some-Parag Khanna's work comes to mind-suggests the decline is the product of forces beyond America's control. Others-Yale's Paul Kennedy included-contend that America has fostered, at least partially, its own decline through "imperial overstretch" and other actions born of global ambition. Still others-Robert Kagan of the Brookings Institution and Stratfor's George Friedman, for example-dispute that America is in decline at all. But the question is front and center and inescapable. |
