任何事物繁盛之巅就意味着衰落之始，在人类无法承受战争之苦的全球化时代，和平早已是大势所趋，一切强权、霸权和蓄意的战争都会在文明共存共享的潮流中灰飞烟灭。承续世界历史上诸多一度叱咤风云的帝国霸权而来的美国霸权，也同样会随着人类的道德水平提升和科技正义力量的摧枯拉朽而成为历史，而美国重回到人类大家庭而平等地共创新的文明佳绩，这个结局的临近将在美国自20世纪以降的150年后，即中华人民共和国建国100周年之际（2050），或许世界格局由此进入至少将由中美为主导的和平共建的地球村时代。因此，本书有鉴于人类进入21世纪以来纷纭的国际形势，结合有关历史线索，梳理了美国霸权历程及其蕴含的最终归宿，认为美国是在霸权道路上走得更快更高的民族国家，是迄今人类历史上最具霸权性质的自诩自由与民主的国家。美国自20世纪以降推行了一贯的霸权大战略，但在历经120多年之后的今天，它仍旧在意欲统治世界的霸权道路上行走不止，或许还有30多年的强弩之势。尽管当前美国在硬实力和软实力方面都独占鳌头，但实力与霸权结合的危害最终会彻底消弭实力的正义价值而沦为世界人民的公敌。在“物壮则老”“兵强则灭”等箴言之下，美国霸权大厦将在不谙“上善若水”的蒙昧中轰然倒塌！对美国而言，2050年将是一个不祥之年，而对世界人民而言，则是欢欣鼓舞之年，因为人类进化的智慧将永远杜绝霸权意识及其徒劳实践。一句话，正义最终结束邪恶，是永恒的文明课题，定在艰难而有希望的斗争过程中构建出胜利、繁荣和平安的人间天堂！

Abstract

In the regulation of everything,the arrival of supreme is followed with declining.Peace have come to be a mightest trend as it is time when globalized human being can no longer undertake sufferings from war.As a result,all sorts of power,hegemony and intended wars will die out under the tide of friendly sharing and co-existing.Following the series of former all-powerful empire in hegemony,American hegemony is doubtless to fall with the devastation from the upgrading level of morality and power of justice by science and technology.On this point,US will return to the unity of the whole mankind and work on in pushing global civilization forward equally with every member.This ending will appear 150 years later since the 20 th century,which is approximately the 100^th anniversary of the Republic of China（2050）.Chances are that the world will at least come into the state of global village peacefully dominated by China and US since then.Therefore,applying to the diversified international situation and looking into relevant historical clues,this book combed up the growth of hegemony and its eventual ending hidden in the process.In the meantime,opinions is held in the book that US is a faster and wider nation on the way of hegemony,which implies it to be the supreme in hegemony among countries naming itself free and democratic.Since the 20 th century,US sticks to its great strategy of hegemony.Moreover,it insist on its hegemony in dominating the world,perhaps thirty years will still be taken until the strategy may decline.Despite the fact that US still holds the peak in both hard might and soft might,the harm of the combination of its might and hegemony will at last totally destroy the justice value of its might,which will lead it to be the common enemy of the human beings.As the saying goes:“Things reach their prime and then decline”“he who（relies on）the strength of his forces does not conquer”,the building of Ameri can hegemony will crash loudly in its ignorance of the truth“The highest good is like that of water”!Under the fact that the wisdom of human evolution will cut out forever any intention of hegemony and its practicing in vain,the year 2050 will be a moment of celebration to the world people,while for the US,2050 will be a year of misfortune.All in all,it is an eternal practice of civilization that justice takes the life of evil finally.Tough as it is,a paradise filled with victory,prosperity and well-being is constructed by hopeful world people！
