The Civilizational DEATH Of The US Empire Is REAL | Drs. A. Moeini & C. Mott
Enjoy the Empire while it lasts, for the outlook does not look good. Join two US analysts in their quest for understanding the trajectory of decline. Kyoto University Symposium 2026: "Geopolitics in the Time of Monsters" Presentation 7: Dr. Arta Moeini & Dr. Christopher Mott Arta Moeini and Chris Mott examine the language of civilization in American foreign policy and the possibilities of a changing international order. Moeini argues that Marco Rubio’s rhetoric repackages global primacy, while Mott explores historically rooted political communities through China, India, Iran and other examples. Their discussion considers geography, cultural difference, empire, ideology and coexistence. Audience questions challenge their definitions, examine American history and European militarization, and ask whether civilizational thinking can support peace without reproducing familiar forms of domination.
