Shifting Powers: The Twilight of American Supremacy

Shifting Powers: The Twilight of American Primacy By Amna WaseemIn a world no longer defined by a single superpower, Shifting Powers offers a bold and timely exploration of the forces reshaping global order. From the high-stakes EP-3E crisis to the evolving military balance among the United States, China, and Russia, Amna Waseem traces the arc of American dominance-and its gradual unraveling.Blending historical insight, strategic analysis, and geopolitical theory, this book examines the rise and decline of U.S. influence, the emergence of multipolarity, and the challenges posed by rising powers like China, the European Union, and the BRICS coalition. It interrogates the meaning of American power in the 21st century: Is it still relevant? What kind of power does the U.S. wield today-and what kind should it aspire to?With crisp chapters, a clear narrative, and a glossary of key terms, Shifting Powers is essential reading for students, analysts, and anyone seeking to understand the shifting tectonics of global politics. It's not just a chronicle of decline-it's a roadmap for navigating a fragmented world.
