Superpower CorruptsAntagonistic Superpowers Corrupt Absolutely
本文探讨三种失衡的超级大国(中国、美国、俄罗斯)如何因各自体制缺陷而腐败,并可能引发第三次世界大战,提出以社区治理和全球治理替代对抗性超级大国。
If power tends to corrupt, then imagine what superpower can do. Three superpowers, each imbalanced in its own way—toward state communism (China), private capitalism (United States), and national populism (Russia)—vie with each other for global supremacy, all with a substantial arsenal of nuclear weapons under the control of a single individual. Whether malevolent or mistaken, any one can provoke World War III. We shall, therefore, have to think outside the superpower box, for example, by favoring grounded communityship over centralized leadership, and global governance beyond antagonistic superpower.
