Download The Tragedy of Great Power Politics AudioBook Free
A decade following the cold war ended, policy producers and academics foresaw a fresh era of serenity and prosperity, a time where democracy and open up trade would herald the "end of history." The terrorist episodes of September 11, 2001, regrettably shattered these idyllic illusions, and John Mearsheimer's masterful new booklet explains why these harmonious visions remain utopian. To Mearsheimer, great ability politics are tragic because the anarchy of the international system requires states to seek dominance at one another's price, dooming even peaceful countries to a relentless ability have difficulties. Mearsheimer illuminates his theory of unpleasant realism by way of a sweeping study of modern great ability struggles and shows on the bleak potential customers for serenity in European countries and northeast Asia, arguing that the United States's security competition with a growing China will intensify regardless of "proposal" policies.
