The Fall of the European Union and the Rise of the North American Union: An Outline of the Looming Conflict between the United States and China over the Future World Order

The 21st century promises so much to humanity. It is a time when all peoples of the world are being brought closer together by means of instant communication and fast travel. Economic networks criss-cross the globe tying the economic wellbeing of one region to the wellbeing of another. Underlying all of this is a political order dating back to the end of the Second World War. The post-WWII era forged by American military and economic might has provided unprecedented benefits to those who would accept the liberal-democratic rules based international order as set out by the United States of America.Two decades into the 21st century this order, the one which has provided so much opportunity to so many, has fallen into a state of exhaustion and is now being openly challenged by great powers around the world. The international order based on American power is one which stifles would-be powers from rising to the position of hegemon.This book is an exploration of what could possibly happen in the next few decades of the 21st century. As the American backed order begins to see cracks and as these cracks continue to grow opportunities will come up for powers like China, Russia, and the European Union to break free of their dependence on American economic wellbeing and attempt to forge a new order. But while they work to undermine the international order America will not stand idly-by as the key to its prosperity at home is threatened.
