At the end of World War II, the United States was recognized as the world's most powerful country and it initially sought with some success to implement its objective of a liberal world order based on decolonization, multilateral institutions, free trade, and democratic ideals. This policy was stymied by the onset of the Cold War, and strategic imperatives thereafter took precedence. After its defeat in Vietnam some commentators claimed that American power was in decline, and even during its resurgence under President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s they argued that this could not be sustained. These "declinists" were wrong. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States re-emerged as the dominant power in the world, pursuing the liberal agenda it partly abandoned in the 1940s. Indeed, its political military and economic power is such that it may be regarded as a near hegemony. But since its liberal agenda is chiefly progressive, its influence will prove largely benign.
