Meanwhile, Terry Boswell and Christopher Chase-Dunn posit one possible scenario in which the United States "continues its relative decline," but "remains the world's dominant power" for the next couple of decades. At the same time they suggest that by the 2020s "a new world leader" will emerge "with a preponderance of military power."
