Englisch: Verständnisproblem

Zitat:
If America would protect the world militarily while building cooperative structures, champion the free market while emphasizing the common good, and use its national sovereignity to pioneer network democracy at a global level, it could be not only greatest empire the world has ever known but also the final empire.

The world could be integrated by these actions to such an extent that it could evolve into a mosaic of interconnections and independencies in which empire would no longer be needed.

That is not to say that American power would be weakened.

As Wilson, Roosevelt and Truman demonstrated, working to enhance the community of nations only enhance American prestige, influence, and respect.
This is the point and paradox of stewardship.

In short, the opportunity before America and the world is this: the League of Nations was established in the ashes of the First World War, the United Nations in the ashes of the Second World War.
The challenge now is for the United States to build on these achievments and lead in the building of the next repetition of global governance.

But the United States and the world community must ensure that this time the next global governance regime is implemented proactively, before the catastrophe that will inevitably ensue if our global challenges are not solved.
