THREATS IN THE SECURITY POLICY OF THE USA
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Geografie Politica - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
Using meta-analysis as methodological instrument, we are trying to shape the possible trajectories of US geopolitical games in early 21th century. According to some considerations, nowadays the US are going through a relative decline process, especially due to the fast economic growth of his principal rival, China. The study is presenting the main threats that can arise in the US international relations, especially those ones which are related to Islamic, Chinese and Russian challenge. We conclude that from these possible challenges the Islamic one can be the most dangerous, because of its unpredictability and because it can encompass some unconventional, non-state types of threats, such as terrorism. At the end of the study is presented three different attitudes towards the US geopolitical role – the neo-conservative interpretation of Huntington, the eco-socialist discourse of Wallerstein and the liberal-criticism of Revel.
