The tragedy of great power politics - John J. Mearsheimer. “A superb book. . . . Mearsheimer has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the behavior of great powers.” —Barry R. Posen, The National Interest The update of this classic treatise on the behavior of great powers takes a penetrating look at the question likely to dominate international relations in the twenty-first century: Can China rise peacefully?

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. The best survival strategy in this dangerous world is to become a regional hegemon— like the United States in the Western Hemisphere—and to make sure that no other hegemon emerges elsewhere.
