America in danger of following Europe
waves of young professionals in India getting to work for night shift in Bangalore
GLOBALIZATION IS STRIKING BACK
--US lost key industries, its people have stopped saving money, its govt indebted to Asian central banks
yet these trends have been around for a while, and have helped our bottom line
as glob. and outsourcing have increased, we've grown by 3 percent
As other countries grow faster US must adapt to new challenges as well as those it adapted to in the past
rise of emerging nations
Since 1989 power of US has defined global order (quote on p 412)
apogee = climax
IRAQ--thw method of its execution
unipolar order waning b/c of its broad diffusion of power across the world
where has unipolarity ended?
EU
not militarily
end of multipolarity
not a new superpower but a diversity of forces
new nogovernmental forces
this will strain US and other countries: presence of large liberal hegemon is good!
tip military balance against aggressors
solving common problems in an era of diffusion and decentralization could be more difficult w/o superpower
awareness happening--signs of this? (p. 416_
outward orientation not common in america--why not? what does he say abt americans?
irresponsible national political culture
new thinking about a new world is lacking
too domestically focused.
not just Republicans, Democrats too
DC is a bubble, out of touch with world around it
we pass judgments on other countries
not supportive of free trade
irony is that the rise of the rest is a consequence of american ideas and actions that we've been promoting, like open markets, free politics, trade and technology
we counseled them to learn the secrets of success. and it worked: the natives have gotten good at capitalism.
just as the world is opening, america is closing down.
it globalized the world. along the way, forgot to globalize itself.
