Multipolar Revisionism and Cutting the Cost of American Hegemony offers timely analysis of how shifting global power dynamics are reshaping the international order. Grounded in Structural Realism, Hanna Samir Kassab examines how states pursue survival through power accumulation in an increasingly multipolar world.Through detailed case studies, including U.S. foreign policy under Presidents Biden and Trump, the rise of revisionist powers like China and Russia, and the emergence of BRICS currency alternatives, this book explores the strategic consequences of American retrenchment. Kassab analyzes alliance reconfigurations, economic challenges to U.S. dominance, and the geopolitical implications of China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The book concludes with a forward-looking assessment of how diplomacy, alliance-building, and recognition of spheres of influence may stabilize the global system and preserve American power into the 22nd century.Essential reading for scholars, graduate students, and policy professionals in Security Studies, International Relations, and Global Affairs, it also offers accessible insights for advanced undergraduates and informed readers seeking to understand the forces driving today’s geopolitical transitions.
