American Global Pre-Eminence: The Development and Erosion of Systemic Leadership

Focusing on the historical evolution of US global leadership, the book examines how technological innovation, energy, and global reach have established a hierarchical order in international relations. William R. Thompson explores the complexities of systemic leadership and questions the feasibility of a single state maintaining dominance in an increasingly interconnected world. As these dynamics evolve, the author delves into the implications for the future of global governance and the potential transformation of power structures.
