What slack? Who says the next major shift in the int'l system will end up looking like what we have now? I guess the obvious choice, as of right now, would be China emerging as the next super power. Keeping with sinocentrism, I think it'll probably be the US who starts the war, and China who ends it. This is really just one scenario so who knows.
You speak of the world's interests, but you're only implying the interests of the North. Do the people of most Sub-Saharan African nations really care that much about the US and the multi-national corporations which continually rob them of a better existense? What about the people of the Middle East? I understand this is a generalization, but empires come and go, and the world never bands together to save them.
When the time comes, it will most likely be in everyone's interests to side with the new top dog.
