SANTIAGO, Chile -- As conservative billionaire Sebastian Piñera was sworn in as Chile's 38th president on March 11, the Chilean congressional building swayed due to aftershocks from the earthquake that struck two weeks ago. The tremors were a reminder that Piñera's success as president will depend on his ability to lead an efficient recovery from the country's worst natural disaster in 50 years.

If the period of time between 1991 and 2011 represents a
two-decade interregnum, it's worth examining the opportunities the United States has had during that time to fundamentally shape the
global order that emerged after the end of the Cold War, and why each
attempt hasn't "taken." The global financial crisis of 2008-2009 may have opened another such window of opportunity, but it won't last long.
