Abstract

Will the US continue to act as the major international policeman and will the EU, or for that matter Japan, take a growing stake in how other countries govern or misgovern themselves? What reliance can or should be placed on international organizations to deal with international conflicts? The answers to these questions are heavily dependent upon the interpretation given to the changes that have occurred in the international system, the emergent balances of power (global and regional), the mix of dependence and independence shaping relations between the United States, the EU and Japan, the emerging structure of trade in the international system, and the barriers to the emergence of a common identity and a convergence of interests within the northern tier of industrialized states.
