Nikolas Gvosdev of the US Naval War College states that although the U.S. intelligence community have agreed that multipolarity would be the future, Washington policymakers had not made the strategic choices necessary to guarantee continued U.S. global leadership such as wooing emerging powers such as Brazil and India that were not currently aligned either with the Euro-Atlantic West or with China. In an article in The World Politics Review, "Shaping the Multipolar World", he questions the prevailing assumption that at the end of the day, such powers would automatically align with U.S. interests absent a U.S. effort to nurture the relationship.
