Abstract:
|
America's dominant position does not imply that it can do anything it wants. States that wish to constrain U.S. power can pursue strategies of balancing, blackmail, binding, asymmetric power, or "delegitimation.". These strategies cannot stop the US or even weaken it significantly, but they can make it significantly harder for the US to accomplish its objectives. |

The United States will still get its way on many issues and will still be the dominant world power but it will face far greater friction and U.S. citizens are likely to see the world (and be seen by it) in a much more negative light.
