Declining schools led by multipolarization poles Kennedy believe that the United States affected by "excessive empire expansion" has decreased relatively. Asian enthusiasm promoted by James Fallows and others and others saw the sun again. Senator Paul Songhas best captures traditional wisdom. Differences in power never existed as now; Nothing, he did not talk about the position of the United States today. "The Charlemagne empire is the influence of Western Europe only.The Roman Empire is further expanding but there is another great empire in Persia and there is a bigger empire in China Samuel Huntington in 1999 Believe that we insisted that we are not in a unipolar world

The reality of the decline of the empire is qualified, but it rarely makes a controversy. There is always the danger that short-term trends may be mistaken for historical necessity. Paul Kennedy pointed out that in the 1987 book "The Rise and Destruction of the Great Kingdom" Paul Kennedy is entering a period of relatively declining term in the long term. Although he predicts the rise of China and the rise of the Soviet Union, it is foreseeable in many ways, but it is too early to forecast the weakness of the United States.
