INTERNATIONAL relations forecasting; GREAT powers (International relations); FOREIGN relations of the United States in the 21st century; DIPLOMATIC history; CONCERT of Europe

The author looks at international relations, presenting a case for the view that the U.S.-led international order developed following World War II is deteriorating and that U.S. foreign policy should be aimed at managing the transition to a new international order, and drawing a comparison to the decline of the Concert of Europe in the late 19th century.
