«Weltmacht USA. Ein Nachruf» is the political essay by Emmanuel Todd, published by Piper in paperback (264 pages, in German).
Emmanuel Todd argues that the aggressive foreign policy of the Bush administration is not a sign of strength but a symptom of US decline: its economic dependence abroad and the loss of its role as protector against communism. Attacks on weak adversaries would be a «theatrical militarism» to conceal that loss of power.
Original work: «Après l'empire: essai sur la décomposition du système américain» (2002); translated from French by Ursel Schäfer and Enrico Heinemann.
Readers of political essays and history of international relations, interested in the global role of the US and its possible decline.
