What you describe is pretty much the deafault formular used in International Relations.
In regards to Eurocentrism, when you take the standards of a superpower and see if they are still relevant against states that hold power and systems of power themselves, it is a wedge in the old term. (Western) Europe was a natural ally and there is no equal successor.

scientific marxism
those international relation academics from my university
the people dunking on the US who wihtstand their occupation

picks up a book on Scientific Marxism
See, right here. Chapter 9, page 423. The Zizek equation for Superpowerhood. America's dipped below the Omega coefficient, so it's not Super anymore.
