Challenges in International Security: Why Biden Can’t Restore US Global Hegemony

Join the Hertie School on December 3rd at noon (EST) for a virtual presentation by Daniel Nexon and Alexander Cooley based on their book Exit from Hegemony: The Unravelling of American Global Order.

In Exit from Hegemony, Cooley and Nexon explore three processes that have eroded US leadership: exit from above via great-power challengers, exit from below via weaker states leveraging the availability of new patrons, and exit from within via counter-order movements and political parties. They argue that Trump has been both a symptom and accelerant of these processes and discuss what a new Biden administration can and can’t do to alter the trajectory of change in international order.
