Annual Editions: World Politics 12/13PrefaceSeriesCorrelation GuideTopic GuideInternet ReferencesUnit 1: The Multipolar International SystemUnit Overview1. The Future of the Liberal World Order: Internationalism after America, G. John Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs, May/June 2011Ikenberry argues that "although the United States' position in the global system is changing, the liberal international order is alive and well," and "China and other emerging great powers do not want to contest the basic rules and principles of the liberal international order" because they have prospered from it, since it is "an international mutual aid society." China, India and Brazil have benefitted from a liberal international order that is based on the Westphalian concept of state sovereignty, decentralization, balance of power, and a system of open trade and free markets.2. NATO after Libya: The Atlantic Alliance in Austere Times, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Foreign Affairs, July/August 2011There has been "a relative decline of European defense spending compared to that of emerging powers or the United States." The author stresses that the operation in Libya has underscored the unpredictability of threats that Europe faces, and the need for smart defense in a time of financial austerity.3.

Welcome to the Post-Western World, Stephen F. Szabo, Current History, January 2011The author predicts the development of "A more pluralistic, less structures security system that "[will incorporate] a decline in America's power [and] a rapid increase in China's relative power, but without an accompanying willingness or ability to take on global responsibilities."6. Can the BRICs Become a Bloc?, Timothy M. Shaw, China Monitor, June 2010Shaw stresses "the importance of the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), has increased in recent years but questions remain as to how cohesive is this new "global middle?" Nevertheless, the BRICs contribute to new multilateralism as an embryonic bloc "especially given the decline of United States unilateralism."Unit 2: DemocratizationUnit Overview7. The Fall of the Pharaoh: How Hosni Mubarak's Reign Came to an End, Dina Shehata, Foreign Affairs, May/June 2011The author writes that ".
