America in the 21st Century Decline, Division, and Global Strategy

Is America Losing Its Edge? America is still the world's most powerful nation, but for how long? For decades, the USA seemed unchallengeable: economically dominant, militarily unmatched, and politically decisive. Today, that confidence is under strain as America becomes increasingly divided at home, challenged abroad, and uncertain about its place in a rapidly changing world. The rise of China, the growing influence of emerging powers, and the transformation of warfare are exposing vulnerabilities that America can no longer ignore. However, the deeper danger may lie within: political polarisation, social fragmentation, economic pressures, institutional mistrust, and a growing crisis of national confidence. America in the 21st Century: Decline, Division, and Global Strategy is a timely and provocative examination of these forces and their consequences for American power. Louis B. Warren explores the dramatic changes transforming American society, from identity politics, immigration, and changing ideas of race and gender to the rise of populism and the political resurgence of Donald Trump.
