Description
Leadership and the Rise of Great Powers explores how China's growing influence can be understood through the lens of classical Chinese political theory. A moral-realist theory is presented, which attributes the rise and fall of great powers to political leadership.
This approach reveals that stronger rising states are more likely to displace prevailing states in the international system. The book examines how rising states like China reshape power distribution and norms, and considers America's relative decline in international stature despite its stable economy, education system, military, institutions, and technology.
Leadership and the Rise of Great Powers offers a provocative alternative perspective on the changing dominance of states, providing new insights into the nature of great power politics and the future of the international order.
