Document Summary
The united states of america has great inluenial power amongst naions and is built through history to be known as a unipolar hegemon. The most crucial, uprising naions compeing for america"s power is russia and chinai. The two prominent compeitors and other organizaions will moderately gain economic, poliical, and social power that the usa revoked from them when america undergoes absolute decline. However, these emerging powers will only gain temporarily, and cannot achieve the root power usa has; its alliances with other naions. The alliances and ies that the usa has will not allow for relaive decline to occur. America"s economic power is already in decline as china is currently reining that element. 2025, it is expected that the united states economy will come to a total crash as its debts will be greater than the cash inlowsii. This will allow china to dominate the economic world and assert its power through trade agreements.
