Abstract

If a country loses threats that are facing them, it will not be able to create national unity within the country. In this context, Huntington pointed out that the United States had gradually lost its structural legitimacy in the years after the Cold War, resulting in the emergence of challenging identities within the U.S. and therefore, the U.S. is in critical condition. Indeed, formed assessments indicate that the United States is in a state of "weak state" status. in this paper we will try to answer the question about the main causes and marks of the decline of America in the international system. After analyzing the structural implications of the emergence of a weak government in the United States, we believe that regional and international indications are the emergence of a weak state and the spread of social challenges in the US. It will also lead to the development of social challenges, the emergence of critical identity, increasing community expectations, another reproduction of international policy and increasing American debt in the international economy as a major factor in the decline of the U.S. economy. The theoretical framework of this paper is based on the displacement of geopolitical power and the theoretical framework of this paper is based on the displacement of geopolitical power and the method of research has a descriptive and analytical approach and the method of data collection is based on the library and reliable internet resources.
