Key Notes
A world divided among regional blocks rather than controlled by one unipolar hegemon.
Jiang says America's retreat from the world will produce a difficult transition into a multipolar world.
Jiang argues that even if America lost a war, there would still be no peer competitor to the United States, so the world would divide into regional blocs rather than immediately replace U.S. power with another single hegemon.
Jiang gives Germany controlling Europe, Japan controlling East Asia, and Israel controlling the Middle East as examples of possible regional blocks in a multipolar world.
