| Summary/Abstract |
In the early 21st century, political and economic configuration of the contemporary world has become much more complicated which explains why the claims of political and economic hegemony in the world as well as the unipolar world of the early post-Soviet period are causing much more doubts than before. Economic dynamics of large developing countries such as China, India and Brazil; Russia's gradual economic revival coupled with its much greater role in the world power supply; much wider economic potential of the European Union achieved thanks to the new members; the serious financial and socioeconomic problems in the United States that surfaced in the latter half of the current decade - all this is adding fuel to the discussion about America's ability to remain the economic, and hence, military-political leader of the contemporary world.
