In this article published in Yale Global, Immanuel Wallerstein, discusses why a multipolar world must prepare for a relative decline in US power and the turbulence that may follow.
Nothing sums up the article better then the following few sentences
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We’ve moved into a truly multipolar world where the power of relatively weaker states is suddenly much greater. The Middle East this year is but one example: Turkey brokers long dormant negotiations between Syria and Israel. Qatar brokered a negotiated truce between fiercely opposed factions in Lebanon. Egypt seeks to broker negotiations between Hamas and Israel. The Palestinian Authority has resumed negotiations with Hamas. And the Pakistani government has entered into a de facto truce with the Taliban inside the zones bordering Afghanistan. What’s significant about each of these actions is that the United States opposed all of these negotiations and has simply been ignored - without serious consequences for any of the actors.
