Transformation of power transition based on the literature on changes to the status and role of the United States:School of decline, anti-Americanism, post-American world

Transformation of the position of great powers has always been one of the most important issues of international politics. In this regard, various theoretical debates have been considered, especially in the context of realism, one of which is power transition theory. On the other hand, over the past few decades, the future of the United States and its possible scenarios and roles in the face of developments such as the rise of new powers and new threat centers have become one of the concerns of the analysts of international politics, which can be observed in at least three approaches including decline of power, anti-Americanism and the future world. This paper examines the connection between the topic of power transition and its theoretical reflection in the three aforementioned frameworks. The central question is: what are the prospective views of the position of the United States and how they can be theoretically integrated. And the hypothesis is that: theoretical approaches to how the position of the United States can continue or be transformed in the future world are identifiable by the conceptual models of the "decline school", "anti-Americanism" and "post-America world". These, along with international events (the Cold War and its subsequent developments) have formed an interactive framework that has strengthened the literature of power transition.
