Abstract

The international system has great impact on countries domestic and foreign policies. World powers focus their foreign policy on the international system so that they can achieve their national goals and even sometimes they have to apply the international system to their domestic policies. The top global powers for having greater impact on others and to meet their national goals as far as they can, try to lead international system, which increases competition and conflicts among the world powers. This struggle resulted in the fall and rise of super powers throughout the history. This article has attempted to discuss this process. The rise and fall of super powers have similarities and differences have been addressed as well. Similarly, the views and perceptions of America’s political Science Professor on the transfer of power from west to east or fall of America’s superiority have been also addressed. These views or opinions have their own followers and opponents, whose reasoning has been mentioned. At the end, this article explains that despite the similarities and differences of the transition of super power in the history of new states, lagging behind the needs of the time has accelerated the process of the fall of super powers.

Despite the superiority of America in terms of material strength, Professor Norman Grin believes that(root of the collapse of America and the escalation of the violence in the “wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice and politics without principles) the lack of consciousness, humanity, morality and ethics can led America to leave the throne of superiority in the near future, likewise the way to fill this vacancy also discussed.

What this article believes about the future of international system is that one or few countries to lead the international system are difficult for countries, whilst the international community cannot survive without a system.  So leadership of the future system should be given to regional or international organizations that are truly independent of the will of the states.
