Summary
This discussion will examine
the claim that the relative decline of the United States is the motivation
behind the drive towards global war. It will assess the evidence
for such a claim. It will also discuss the extent to which
any decline of the US rise is accounted for by the rapid economic rise
of China. Finally, it will discuss what the future is likely to hold,
whether that is world war or the emergence of a more peaceful multi-polar
world.
