Project Syndicate published on 4 March 2025 a commentary titled "The Future of World Order" by Joseph S. Nye, Jr.
The author concluded that if the international order is eroding, America's domestic politics are as much of a cause as China's rise. The question is whether we are entering a totally new period of American decline, or whether the second Trump administration's attacks on the American Century's institutions and alliances will prove to be another cyclical dip. We may not know until 2029.
