Will America Remain the World’s Only Superpower?

Fri, November 16th, 2018

Washington, DC

Link Copied

The United States has been the world’s dominant power for more than a century. Now many analysts believe that other countries are rising and the United States is in decline.

In a new book, Unrivaled: Why America Will Remain the World’s Sole Superpower, Michael Beckley argues that the United States has unique advantages over other nations that, if used wisely, will allow it to remain the world’s sole superpower throughout this century. Nicholas Eberstadt and Jakub Grygiel will join Beckley in conversation. Carnegie’s Ashley J. Tellis will moderate.
