    The United States and Europe in a Multipolar World
    in Federalist Debate (The) , Year XXV, n. 2, May ,  2012
    The United States, due to the right conservatives being always majoritarian in matters of foreign and military policy, has been pursuing a unilateral power project. The parabola of such a project, deployed in the course of the last years, has produced a significant loss of its strategic, financial and political weight. The “world watchdog” did not prove able to guarantee collective security. The “world banker” has carried out a gigantic robbery of other countries' savings in order to finance its wars without its citizens paying the costs, adding to the public deficit spending the private one, up to catastrophe. The hegemonic power, in sum, has not been able to guarantee the public goods that are indispensable for not leaving globalization in the hands of international anarchy and for making the aspirations to supranational government forms prevail over the disintegrating dynamics of fear, fueled by nationalist, micro-nationalist and xenophobic forces. http://www.federalist-debate.org/index.php/editorial/item/766-the-united-states-and-europe-in-a-multipolar-world
