Wohlforth published a seminal article [1] in 1999, challenging the common knowledge at the time that US supremacy following the end of the Cold War is expected to be short-lived.[2] He is linked to the Neoclassical realism-school and known for his work on American unipolarity, especially in collaboration with Stephen Brooks. Together they have published several articles and a book, World Out of Balance: International Relations Theory and the Challenge of American Primacy.
