«Après l'empire» is the history and politics essay by Emmanuel Todd, published by Gallimard in paperback (293 pages, in French).
Todd argues that the US will fail to preserve its hegemony because the world is too vast, diverse and dynamic to submit to a single power. He reviews demographic, cultural, industrial, monetary, ideological and military factors, and sees in military activism and the fight against terrorism alibis that conceal a withdrawal. His conclusion: the United States will again become a great power among others.
