Overview
I'm working on a political science discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Mazarr and Kofman claim that U.S. national security strategic documents reflect an ongoing post-Cold War quest for predominance in the world, but that this will be unsustainable given the shifting balance of power. Do you agree that this is the case or do you think the U.S. can continue to play the same predominant role in the world? Discuss.
