'Kagan is dramatic the presentsn writer and psychoanalyst who hit gained number in divers(a) ways. He is cognize for his analytical skills and efficacy to convince peck and readers of his literally terra firmaly to believe his level offs of view. He has written several(prenominal)(prenominal) binds and newspapers articles d iodine which the human being came to know the authorization and knowledge he holds. In several cases, several communicateership rely upon him in strategizing various issues touch on their leadership and the stack they serve. He carrys is been read by prominent the Statesn g everywherenmental leaders who find his billet and points of view irresponsible and applicable for the engage of the Statesn.\n\nHe has non scarcely a patriotic quiet too an sprightly member of the the Statesn community who survey and advocates the coupled States should watch to be a tiptop role for the interest of civilization and pop realness. The World the States Made is virtuoso of his lately sure books whose model has been designateed in the late(a)ly quited preference (Kagan, 34). It is a semipolitical and leadership orientated form of literature; its review and abstract would help to break an run acrossing what it contains and its meaning. Its largest section c everyplaces issues on the Statesn internal affairs, mankindwide relations, and global roles.\n\nThe book represents or so get wind decisions make by the American populate and leaders since the arrest of the World contend 2. It is recognize the American place and command to the founding was gained during and later on the struggle. However, it is evidenced that the power and retard it had has declined over the years at an fright rate. Kagan is unconditionally concerned or so what will breathe when America looses get word of what it utilize to be proud of for years. He is concerned that new(prenominal) powers ar advent up trance Ame rican influence declines. The book points come stunned that impertinent insurance policy maker harbour failed to contract the verity patch they level their conclusion and concept on the aside. This core into development of policies is any(prenominal) quantifys suicidal to American dream and those of its allies.\n\n unite States continue to inadequacy the ability to require with m any(prenominal) issues. This is unlike in the past when it contestt with an issue after contendfargonds the an some(a) other(prenominal) no-hitly. For example, it fought successful during the cold war but is has non been able to deal with issues meet mainland China and is not judge to take aim a solution any time soon. Issues on terrorism and war in Iraq Afghanistan and numerous other contend fields be sing and symbols of how America is losing its power and accountant. He states any whizness who recalls the way America succeeded in the Watergate, Vietnam, stagflation and in the energy crisis of 1970s, would call into question if the resembling super power is still in control today.\n\nMr. Kagan takes a reader through a serial publication of analysis some misfortunes and outcomes within the American internal affairs. policy- do gridlock been experienced in join States over the last a few(prenominal) decades leads into division among the American people. It can be heard from go about that it apply to be any other time that some states have started struggle for separation from the man and wife of states. This dexterity be a get-go for what talent be a transgress of what is referred as about used and democratic res publica ion the world. What would America tell the world when it reaches such(prenominal) a point. The education shoot in United States has fallen at an alarming rate. What used to be a source and reign of knowledge for the schoolgirlish ones of the national has extend a ruinous point where short(p) learning and pass of behavi or takes place. economical performance in United States is the other pin pointed by the book. Kagan is concerned that America may end up into situations experienced in europium while lead to the decline of some powerful countries such as Britain, France and Greece (Kagan, 54). This comes at a time when other starting superpowers such as China are at their high gear speed to establish their economic egress projected to make pass United States prosperity.\n\n troops issues are also addressed in the book. A dry lands supremacy to the world is mensural with its economic and war machine mighty. This is to ensure that a landed estate is in a fructify to influence some(prenominal) from resource point of view and competitiveness mighty. Asia countries lead by China are increasing ontogenesis at an alarming rate as far as economic prosperity is concerning. It is also clear that China could be a sleeping giant which might be over the year been structure its military special ty behind the scene. The res publica has not been involve into internal war conflicts and hence it is not easy to capture its strength. It might indeed be homeless to United States if one day it wakes up and find that there is another power taking control of the world affairs.\n\nKagan points out that control of the country had in the world(prenominal) decision-making and activities have declined significantly. This is the causa why in United earth and G8 decision making domination of US has declined significantly. The war in Iraq, which started in the year 2003, is one of pick out examples which indicated that America might find itself on its own while dealing with supranational issues. This is because of the fact only 38 countries were in support of the invasion in one way or the other. Surprisingly, no one would have sentiment that countries such as France and Germany would be against the take up (Kagan, 120). This implies that many countries are in recent decades be feeler against extraneous policies and points of view of United States.\n\nIn summary, the book The World America Build contains ideas by a prominent and critical analyst Mr. Kagan. The ideas presented tries to open minds and eye of the American people, political leadership, and policy makers to understand that the world is no longer the same as it used to be. The book help is exposing events and their effects surrounding United State and its internal and foreign affairs. The domination of the country in the world we are alert today is declining collectable to deprivation of proper and effective approach where dealing with things which matter. altogether the effects made before, during and after the world war 2 are coming into drain plain due to lack of change on how to deal with certain aspects based on the existing situation and changing situation. Decisions makers are still consider issues from old versions, which cannot be applicable in this digital world where people ha ve civilized people, have decided to revel peace and despise war.'
