\nPanel Proposal: The Decline of US Hegemony: Emerging Power(s) and the
\nFuture of World Politics<\/p>\n

Since the emergence of the US as the world\u2019s superpower almost 50 years
\nago, the discourse on its imminent hegemonic decline has been ongoing for
\nquite some time. The advent of non-traditional security threats especially
\nafter 9\/11 vis-\u00e0-vis the deep-seated problems in the American homeland have
\ncasted doubts over the tenacity and persistence of US hegemony. This is
\nfurther complicated, moreover, by the long-standing economic instability in
\nthe US-led global political economy. More importantly, the rapid economic
\ngrowth of China and other emerging powers, traditionally considered as
\ncountries from the Global South, has also been quite suggestive of the
\nreceding power of American hegemony. Some have even argued that the days of
\nAmerican global dominance could be nearly over, and the most promising
\ncandidate to replace it is China (Jacques, 2009).<\/p>\n

As such, this panel aims to address the following fundamental questions:
\nHow shall we best understand the current developments in the global
\npolitical economy as well as the long-standing domestic problems in the US
\nvis-\u00e0-vis the argument supporting the decline of its hegemony? What can
\ninternational relations theory and history offer us to best analyze the
\nproblem of US decline? What should be the future direction of US foreign
\npolicy in order to strategically adapt to the current trends in global
\npolitics, particularly the rise of emerging powers from the Global South?
\nIs there a reasonable basis in arguing for the imminent emergence of an
\n\u2018Asian Century\u2019 (Mahbubani 2008)? If so, what could be its potential impact
\nto the current US-led world order? Is the rise of China as a global power a
\nfundamental threat to US interests? What are the prospects of
\ntrans-Atlantic relations in a post-American global (dis)order?<\/p>\n

Abstract submissions (max. 300 words) from graduate students must be sent
\nto\u00a0santino.regilme@fu-berlin.de<\/a><mailto:santino.regilme@fu-berlin.de<\/a>> on or before January 6, 2012. As we are
\nkeen on publishing an edited volume based on the papers that will be
\npresented in the panel, we need four more high quality paper
\nproposals to complete the line-up of presenters.<\/p>\n
