Abstract

This article is exploring U.S. Uni polarity and the current main challenges it is facing. The rise of China and Russia and their increase influence in current international affairs considered by many specialists and U.S. policy makers as major challengers to the future of the U.S. This study is assessing such assumption and arguing for different reasons related to these challengers and to the U.S. and its major ally, Europe, that the U.S. remains the sole superpower. Meanwhile, such U.S. superiority and hegemony cannot be taken for granted forever; therefore, the article will explore and explain the strengths as well as the potential weaknesses of U.S. superiority in world politics.
