Other key points Haass added for this edition:
How this came about is unprecedented: "History suggests great powers and the international orders they are associated with inevitably fade."
#"Some powers exhaust themselves through overreach abroad, underinvestment at home, or a mixture."
#"For some other powers, their privileged position is usurped by the emergence of one or more new stronger powers."
#The United States has now introduced a third means by which a major power forfeits international advantage. It is abdication, the voluntary relinquishing of power and responsibility."
