Throughout four millennia of recorded history there has been no end
to empire, but instead an endless succession of empires. After five
centuries of sustained expansion, the half-dozen European powers
that ruled half of humanity collapsed with stunning speed after
World War II, creating a hundred emerging nations in Asia and
Africa. Amid this imperial transition, the United States became the
new global hegemon, dominating this world order with an array of
power that closely resembled that of its European
predecessors.Brazil, Russia, India, China, and the European Union
now rise in global influence, twenty leading historians from four
continents take a timely look backward and forward to discover
patterns of eclipse in past empires that are already shaping a
decline in U.S. global power, including: erosion of economic and
fiscal strength needed for military power on a global scale; misuse
of military power through micro-military misadventures; breakdown
of alliances among major powers; weakened controls over the
subordinate elites critical for any empire's exercise of global
power; insufficient technological innovation to sustain global
force projection.
