Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A decade after the cold war ended, policy makers and academics foresaw a new era of peace and prosperity, an era in which democracy and open trade would herald the "end of history." The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, sadly shattered these idyllic illusions, and John Mearsheimer's masterful new book explains why these harmonious visions remain utopian. To Mearsheimer, great power politics are tragic because the anarchy of the international system requires states to seek dominance at one another's expense, dooming even peaceful nations to a relentless power struggle. Mearsheimer illuminates his theory of offensive realism through a sweeping survey of modern great power struggles and reflects on the bleak prospects for peace in Europe and northeast Asia, arguing that the United States's security competition with a rising China will intensify regardless of "engagement" policies.

Synopsis:

Surveying great power struggles and reflecting on the bleak prospects for peace in the modern world, a University of Chicago professor of political science warns against putting too much faith in the goodwill of other countries and explains why harmonious visions of the future remain utopian.

This book is one of the most important in the International Relations Theory! Mearsheimer in this book shows how the powerful countries need to fight for military power to survive in the difficult political world. Great book! Helps us understand how the world works and to think about the future!! THIS IS A MUST HAVE!
