Baek Seung-wook: Has the American century ended?

The author of this book does not speak of the fall of the United States in haste. Instead, we take long breaths to see what factors made the century possible, whether they are still valid or not, in a sense. For this purpose, he borrows the framework of the World System analysis. World systems analysis is not a nation-state, but a single world system, a national-state system, as a unit of analysis. So, to look at the issue of "the fall of America" from the perspective of world-system analysis means that the United States will not be the one country in the world that is at the center but will look at it at the global level and look at "the long-term framework.". From the perspective of the world-wide analysis, the situation in which the system of accumulation and national systems are so critical that another system of wealth and national government is established has to be reached, the "the chaos of the system" in other countries. In this sense, the founder is a sign of the modern global change that has been centered in the United States, the chaos of the system. It's true that the United States as a Hegemonian is facing a crisis now, but what we still have to say about the fall is that it's a period of time. The founders have been successful in accepting the setting of problems of world systems analysis, sometimes calmly expanding their own problem with criticism and ‘the fall of America’.
