The end of the Cold War has forced a re-examination of post-war history to inform our understanding of the present and future global alignment of the international system. The concept of "superpower", once universally understood and accepted, now seems slippery and vague. In this work, Jan Nijman has brought the powerful conceptual perspective of geopolitics to the topic, reassesses the history and operation of post-war global politics and presents a new explanation of how international relations and strategy work. The book is divided into three sections: the first provides a theoretical perspective on the superpowers in the international system, the second a research-driven investigation of how superpower relations ended during the Cold War, and the third examines the current geopolitical transition and the future, and adjustment of the sole remaining superpower - the USA - to the New World Order.
