Description
The Tragedy of Great Power Politics is a thought-provoking analysis of the behavior of great powers in international relations. John Mearsheimer explores the question of whether a rising power can rise peacefully, and argues that the answer is no. In clear and eloquent prose, he explains why great powers are driven to dominate and how this can lead to conflict.
The updated edition of this book takes a penetrating look at the challenges of great power politics in the 21st century. Mearsheimer examines the relationship between China and the United States, and how these two powers are likely to interact in the years to come. His insights are based on a deep understanding of the dynamics of great power politics.
This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of international relations, and is likely to be of interest to anyone who wants to understand the complexities of great power politics.
