Empire : The decline of the American empire

Watching this now. I’ve never seen AlJazeera’s Empire series before but so far it seems like really great programming. This episode hosts a pretty well informed panel (mostly professors) that cover the spectrum of ideology, all of whom acknowledge the existence of American empire but support or criticize it from their various perspectives. Obviously, I agree strongly with those critical of the American empire but it’s great to hear a discussion where everyone first acknowledges the reality of empire. 

As the world is undergoing a profound transformation, what role will the United States play in a post-American century?

EDIT: Well it does look like there is some discussion about whether American empire exists or not. But it’s a seemingly well-balanced conversation that’s easy to learn from!
