Measuring American Power in Today's Fractured World

IDEAS official launch


The United States today is undoubtedly the ‘number one’ power in world affairs, but it also faces the challenges that our fast changing and fractured world throws up. This has caused enormous debate among scholars of international strategic affairs about how best to measure relative American power.

Paul Kennedy is J Richardson Dilworth Professor of History at Yale University. He joined IDEAS-CWSC for 2007-08 as the inaugural holder
of the Philippe Roman Chair in History and International Affairs.

LSE IDEAS is a centre for the study of international affairs, diplomacy and grand strategy. Its mission is to use LSE's intellectual resources to help train skilled and open-minded leaders and to study international affairs through world-class scholarship and engagement with practitioners and decision-makers.
