UNRIVALED: WHY AMERICA WILL REMAIN THE WORLD’S SOLE SUPERPOWER

Book ID/图书代码： 03360018C00013

English Summary/英文概要： The United States has been the world’s dominant power for more than a century. Now many analysts believe that other countries are rising and the United States is in decline. Is the unipolar moment over? Is America finished as a superpower?

In this book, Michael Beckley argues that the United States has unique advantages over other nations that, if used wisely, will allow it to remain the world’s sole superpower throughout this century. We are not living in a transitional, post-Cold War era. Instead, we are in the midst of what he calls the unipolar era―a period as singular and important as any epoch in modern history. This era, Beckley contends, will endure because the US has a much larger economic and military lead over its closest rival, China, than most people think and the best prospects of any nation to amass wealth and power in the decades ahead.

Deeply researched and brilliantly argued, this book covers hundreds of years of great power politics and develops new methods for measuring power and predicting the rise and fall of nations. By documenting long-term trends in the global balance of power and explaining their implications for world politics, the book provides guidance for policymakers, businesspeople, and scholars alike.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个多世纪以来，美国一直是世界的主导力量。现在许多分析人士认为，其他国家正在崛起，美国却在衰落。单极时代结束了吗？美国是否已经不再是超级大国了？

在本书中，迈克尔•贝克利认为，与其他国家相比，美国拥有独特的优势，如果使用得当，美国将在本世纪保持世界唯一超级大国的地位。我们不是生活在一个过渡的后冷战时代。相反，我们正处于贝克利所谓的单极时代——一个与现代史上任何时代同样独特而重要的时代。贝克利认为，这个时代将会持续下去，因为美国在经济和军事上的领先优势远远超过最接近的竞争对手中国，超过了大多数人的想象，也超过了任何一个国家在未来几十年积聚财富和权力的最佳前景。

经过深入研究和精辟论证，本书涵盖了数百年的大国政治，提出了衡量大国实力和预测国家兴衰的全新方法。通过记录全球力量平衡的长期趋势并解释其对世界政治的影响，本书可以为决策者、商人和学者等群体提供指导。（XMM）

Awards/获奖情况：“迈克尔•贝克利对我们正在见证美国时代落幕的观点提出了毁灭性的、炳炳凿凿的批评。为了支持他的观点，贝克利的作品做到概念上清晰明确，经验上无懈可击，分析上公平客观。它将很快成为国际安全研究的经典。”——基尔•利伯，乔治敦大学埃德蒙•A•沃尔什外交学院安全研究中心副教授兼主任

“迈克尔•贝克利的研究推翻了目前大肆鼓吹中国的作品，那些作品多到可以装满一个小型图书馆。‘美国的优势将持续下去’是这篇文章的主旨，它以严谨的学术风格、恰当的文风和令人信服的数据进行了论证。这篇文章将推翻关于美国‘衰落’的许多陈词滥调，同时大大提高了辩论的智慧。”

"Michael Beckley offers a devastating and definitive critique of the idea that we are witnessing the end of the American era. In support of his case, Beckley’s book is conceptually clear, empirically unassailable, and analytically fair and objective. It will quickly become a classic in International Security studies."

--Keir Lieber, Associate Professor and Director, Center for Security Studies, Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University

"Michael Beckley’s research demolishes the current China hype, which fills a small library by now. ’America’s edge will endure’ is the message of this piece, and it is argued with academic rigor, felicity of style, and compelling numbers. This piece will overturn many clichés about America’s ’decline’ while greatly improving the intelligence of the debate."
