Superpower

Everything in this world is tend to change. Beginning with the climate, technologies, population and ending with the economy, politics and international relations. China is not an exception in those changes. Over the last couple of years China has developed its economy to very significant level, under these circumstances it is possible that China could become a world’s superpower. This essay will consist of three parts, each part will look at different ways of analyzing the rise of China, concentrating on terms of dominant theories of International Relations: realism, liberalism and Critical Theory. In addition, this paper will try to explain why liberalism is more suitable theory for everyone who involved in the extension of this country.…

Crowder even suggest that America is responsible “for your [European’s] countries being more than mere rabbles of dust”. The author even goes as far to state that the U.S. could’ve achieved its goal of remaining a global superpower through violence with our vast assortment of weaponry. But oh, “[he’s] just getting started”. Crowder continues to praise America, both for being a leader in innovation and a ‘hero to all nations’. Again, this section fails to convey a clear point or convince any…

Can two 21st century superpowers in the world - one in the East, one in the West, with polar opposite political systems and philosophies on world affairs, align themselves peacefully for a mutually beneficial existence or will their relationship be marked by increased completion and conflict as they encroach on each other’s territorial and economic interests? The rise of Chinese influence and power is having a significant effect on the global equilibrium. The once quantifiable power gap between…

take advantages on economic factors such as oil and trade. As a result, China could form the ‘Shanghai Co-operation Organization’ which is considered to be counterweight to the NATO, which resembles the USA hegemonic power. Eventually, China was gradually forming its own world, ‘Walled World’. Overall, China is proceeding its unique political strategies such as multilateralism, asymmetrical power, and soft power. China has been seemingly succeeded in building its own world; however, we still do…

Economy and political interest (sphere of power/influence) would be a challenge in any agreement. For example, China is aspiring to be the dominant superpower is Asia; by creating man made islands on disputed locations outside of its territorial waters. Even after international condemnation they have continued to expand these islands and have even landed the first aircraft (test flight) in one of them.3 This presents an economical problem as some of these man made islands are located in…

The United States of America has been known as the world superpower ever since the end of the Cold War. A world superpower is a country that has the capacity to project dominating power and influence anywhere in the world. Before the United States, the U.S.S.R and the US shared the role of the “most dominant country in the world.” Ever since then, no country has come close to overpowering the United States of America. There have been instances that “rising superpowers” such as Russia, India, and…

The ring of Gyges grants the ability to become invisible by only “turn[ing] the collet of the ring.” This, for Gyges, gave him power and confidence to conquer the kingdom. I’ve often thought about this situation but a different light. The question If you could have any superpower what would it be? My selection has always been to have the ability to be invisible, but not for the reason that Gyges would want. I feel like it would be satisfying to dip in and out of sight, avoid interactions and…

achieve their wildest dreams. Many have come to America’s shores in search of this prosperity, some have succeeded and some have failed. The cycle of people trying and failing to achieve their American Dream is one that has disenfranchised some, however this issue has existed in the past as it does in the present. For example, Arthur Miller’s Death of Salesman tells the tale of Willy Loman, American salesman and father of two sons who is desperately trying to achieve the American Dream for his…

such a high volume of products has been increasing drastically, and with china as the only nation able to meet this demand, we see ourselves leaning on them heavier and heavier by the day. I look at this issue as having two variables, explanatory and response. Americans are not willing to give up the luxury of cheaply and easily obtained products that china offers, and in response, we find ourselves dependent on them. My assertions are not to make American people scared of Chinese made products,…

The Cautious Approach to U.S. Grand Strategies in Foreign Policy While there is a general consensus that in the post-Cold War era, the United States emerged as the world’s unipolar superpower, the role of superpower continues to be widely debated. Political realists err on the cautious side and see other state actors as possible threats not only to the balance of power, but also to the U.S. itself. Realist policy prepares for the worst. Neoconservatives believe that the U.S.’s democratic idea…
