Le déséquilibre d'un monde unipolaire, les tensions d'un monde multipolaire

Si vous avez quelques minutes à tuer, je vous invite à lire un article sur l'émergence d'un système international multipolaire (dans la foulée de mon intervention précédente).

Un extrait :

The American aspiration to freeze historical development by working to keep the world unipolar is doomed. In the not very long run, the task will exceed America’s economic, military and political resources; and the very effort to maintain a hegemonic position is the surest way to undermine it. The effort to maintain dominance stimulates some countries to work to overcome it. As theory shows and history confirms, that is how balances of power are made.
