The USA accepts multipolarity but rejects multilateralism. So I think it’s useful to distinguish between multilateral multipolarity and bilateral multipolarity. A declining hegemon naturally and logically favors the latter as a global form of divide and conquer that maximizes US leverage in each bilateral relationship. Declining Gulliver naturally wants to engage Lilliputians individually rather than en masse.
Thank you so much for giving us an orientation, a grounding, and ultimately a kind of confidence in the world- beyond the destructive bullying and chaotic posturing, polluting, plundering behaviours we are witnessing. Outstanding public educators, speaking truth about power with integrity and honesty, Warwick Powell and Jeffrey Sachs. Bravo!
