Translated to Arabic 'Le XXIe siècle ne sera pas américain' (The 21st Century will not be American), by French author Pierre Biarnès. In this pre-9/11 book on geopolitics, Biarnès looks at the history of the American moral and mercantile hegemony, based on military strength and good conscience. He asks if this hegemony can be sustained. Instead will the power move to China and the East, Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Islam? Or will there be any one domination?
