Robert Kagan

Robert Kagan, one of the country’s most influential strategic thinkers, looks at whether America is in decline and shares his view of what the world might look like if the United States let its influence wane. The World America Made  investigates what the world would look like if America were to reduce its role as a global leader in order to focus on solving its problems at home and asserts that the current pessimism about America’s stature is misplaced.

Historian Robert Kagan holds the distinction of influencing both Mitt Romney and President Obama's political discourse. A foreign policy adviser to the Romney campaign, Kagan's ideas were also evident in President Obama’s state of the union address, which disputes the claim that America is in decline.
