Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. - Luke 10:27

Nutshell, history repeats itself, so America won't be the last hegemon; a single hegemon condition is required for relative stability in the World. So we are heading for higher volatility in the World when the US is no longer the only kid on the block.
Seems to me to be a very strong theory, well grounded in historic facts. See: 20th Century
I am quite certain that when China is strong enough to seriously start to challenge the US in things beyond North Korea and Taiwan, we will witness another violent transition of power. When that is, I do not know.
