International Law: United States Attitudes

The present high proportion of the USA is leading to foundational change in the international legal system. The single superpower in the development of a legal system appropriated to its particular interests, or influence of the international community in the development of a system more constructive to broader needs and convents. United States does habitually cooperate with state sharing the same interests and values. By the autumn of 2012 the euphoria accompanying the heady days of the Arab spring was replaced by uncertainty and unease. With governments in transition in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Yemen, the ongoing civil war in Syria, and continuing unrest in several other countries, an appraisal of the outcome of these dramatic changes in the region is warranted. America becomes the world. The world becomes America. The choices Americans make will shape their future as a nation and the future of the world. The politics of the next 50 years will be the politics of this reformation of our world system.
