После гегемонии. Что будет с ними и с нами?

Robert Keokheĭn - odin iz glavnykh amerikanskikh geopolitikov i strategov XX veka. On po pravu stoit v odnom ri͡adu s Dzhozefom Naëm, Zbignevom Bzhezinskim, Gansom Morgentau. Ego teorii vo mnogom sozdali sovremennui͡u doktrinu amerikanskoĭ vneshneĭ politiki. V 1984 godu on publikuet proryvnui͡u na tot moment knigu - "Posle gegemonii". V neĭ on dokazyvaet to, chto v to vremi͡a - odin iz samykh zhëstkikh periodov Kholodnoĭ voĭny - ne osmelilsi͡a by dokazyvatʹ, pozhaluĭ, nikto. Keokheĭn pishet, chto sovsem skoro bipoli͡arnai͡a sistema uĭdët v proshloe. Na eë mesto pridët odnopoli͡arnai͡a, no i ėto nenadolgo. Keokheĭn dokazyval, chto sovsem skoro ischeznet samo poni͡atie politicheskoĭ gegemonii: sverkhderzhavy i imperii bolʹshe ne smogut kontrolirovatʹ malye strany. No ėto po ego mnenii͡u sovsem ne plokho. Naoborot, imenno ėto i estʹ putʹ k sozdanii͡u bolee spravedlivogo i schastlivogo obshchestva na vseĭ planete. Kniga vyzvala gnev amerikanskikh konservatorov i ne byla prini͡ata imi. Avtora podvergli travle v Soedinënnykh Shtatakh.

Robert Keohane is one of the main American geopoliticians and strategists of the 20th century. He rightfully stands on a par with Joseph Nye, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Hans Morgenthau. His theories have largely created the modern doctrine of American foreign policy. In 1984, he published a breakthrough book at that time - "After Hegemony". In it, he proves something that at that time - one of the harshest periods of the Cold War - perhaps no one would have dared to prove. Keohane writes that very soon the bipolar system will become a thing of the past. A unipolar one will take its place, but even this will not last long. Keohane argued that the very concept of political hegemony would disappear very soon: superpowers and empires would no longer be able to control small countries. But in his opinion, this is not a bad thing at all. On the contrary, this is exactly the way to create a more just and happy society all over the planet. The book angered American conservatives and was not accepted by them. The author was bullied in the United States.
