Professor Jonathan Kirshner offers penetrating insight into the emerging global political economy at this moment of an increasingly chaotic world.

Kirshner and the contributors to The Downfall of the American Order? cast their eyes back on the order that once was, and look ahead to what might follow.

In dialogue with each other's assessments and expectations, they differ in their assessments of the probable, ranging from a hollowed out American primacy muddling through by default, partial modifications of old institutions and practices at home and abroad, or wholesale contestations and the search for new orders.
