IMPERIALISM
U. S. IMPERIAL DECLINE
MULTI-POLAR WORLD
UNIPOLAR MOMENT
GAZA GENOCIDE
The picture Sachs paints is stark: a fragmented world, a declining West, and a United States whose pursuit of hegemony is destabilizing the very system it once built. Whether the coming years bring a managed transition or a series of crises may depend on whether Washington can accept a multipolar world – or whether it continues to fight a losing battle to preserve the unipolar moment.
