Each chapter covers a key topic, spanning a range of international issues including the current financial crisis, the limits of US foreign policy, the politicisation of intelligence, and why a war with Iran would be likely to culminate in disaster for the US. Kolko also outlines why changes in military technology make all wars, no matter who fights them, increasingly futile. At the heart of the book is the idea that the international system is in the grip of a great transition. Kolko shows how America is losing its dominance, and examines the profound changes we are experiencing as it is forced to accept the limits of its military power. 606 $aWorld politics$y1995-2005 606 $aWorld politics$y2005-2015 606 $aBalance of power 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y21st century$xForecasting 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary policy 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y2001-2009 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1945-1989 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aBalance of power. 676 $a973.93 700 $aKolko$b Gabriel$0111201 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824277303321 996 $aWorld in crisis$93992025 997 $aUNINA
