U.S. Empire Building As A Failing Project: Is American Supremacy Sustainableand Durable?

Öz

Although it had no strong wish to be active and adventurous in
foreign affairs, the Clinton government vvas quite successful in
reducing the financial deficit and so restoring US economic
dominance at the expense of Japan and Germany, both of vvhich vvere
recently regarded as the potential rivals to the US povver. Hovvever,
these much debated Japanese and, to a less degree, German
challenges to US povver have been undercut by their poor economic
performances during the first decade of post-Cold War era and more
importantly, by their unvvillingness to compete militarily and
politically vvith Washington under the nevv, uncertain conditions of
vvorld order.6
Rather than balance the US, both countries have been
determined to maintain the regular pattern of engagement that
dominated the Cold War
