{"product_id":"9781501724787","title":"Unrivaled: Why America Will Remain the World's Sole Superpower","description":"Beckley demonstrates that no country is poised to upend American primacy, not economically, not militarily, and not technologically.... The evidence he assembles should be part of any serious debate about where we are headed.— \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe United States has been the world's dominant power for more than a century.\u003c\/b\u003e Now many analysts believe that other countries are rising and the United States is in decline. Is the unipolar moment over? Is America finished as a superpower? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Michael Beckley argues that the United States has unique advantages over other nations that, if used wisely, will allow it to remain the world's sole superpower throughout this century. We are not living in a transitional, post-Cold War era. Instead, we are in the midst of what he calls the unipolar era—a period as singular and important as any epoch in modern history. This era, Beckley contends, will endure because the US has a much larger economic and military lead over its closest rival, China, than most people think and the best prospects of any nation to amass wealth and power in the decades ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeeply researched and brilliantly argued, this book covers hundreds of years of great power politics and develops new methods for measuring power and predicting the rise and fall of nations. By documenting long-term trends in the global balance of power and explaining their implications for world politics, the book provides guidance for policymakers, businesspeople, and scholars alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42470165577789,"sku":"9781501724787","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781501724787_p0.jpg?v=1771576151","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781501724787","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
