ISBN: 0230507115 ISBN-13: 9780230507111 Publisher: Palgrave MacMillan OUR PRICE: $113.99 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: August 2007 Annotation: The balance of power is one of the most influential ideas in international relations, yet it has never been systemically and comprehensively examined in pre-modern or non-European contexts. This book redresses this imbalance. The authors present eight new case studies of balancing and balancing failure in pre-modern and non-European international systems. The collective, multidisciplinary and international research effort yields an inescapable conclusion: much of the conventional wisdom about the balance of power does not survive intact with non-European evidence. |
