"Nostalgia for what America once did, or once was, will complicate a concert further, especially if middle powers allied to the United States believe it might return to its former behaviour -- it could prevent them really committing to cooperation that excludes the United States. It may also be that without American leadership, its closest allies cannot summon the will, the ambition, or the vision to continue prosperity-enhancing improvements." - Kori Schake
