Long Answer Question
In the Post-Cold War, is USA the only Superpower?
After 1989, the accelerated decline of Warsaw pact alliance and there was an apparent transition to a single economic and military superpower, the U.S.A., and by early 1990s U.S.A. Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and military strength substantially exceeded that of any single state, and many states combined. In 1995, the NATO action in former Yugoslavia was U.S.A. led and demonstrated how much Europe depended on U.S.A. military capability and how without U.S.A. intervention a major military objective is practically unachievable. Therefore, in the early post cold era the concept of unipolarity seemed to be a matter of consensus in international relations linked to U.S.A. economic and military status. However, since 1989 there are counter arguments against unipolarity linked to the existence of other developing great powers in terms of nuclear proliferation and rapidly emerging competitor economies, primarily China and India.
