Roundtable 12-12 on Orders of Exclusion:  Great Powers and the Strategic Sources of Foundational Rules in International Relations

July 9, 2021July 9, 2021 By Emma Ashford, Seva Gunitsky, G. John Ikenberry, Timothy Sayle, Joshua R. Itzkowitz Shifrinson, Kyle M. Lascurettes

To say that debates over “international order” are at the heart of a growing number of scholarly and policy concerns is an understatement.  Indeed, at a time when the so-called “liberal international order” that was notionally established by the United States after World War Two is under duress from shifting power dynamics, domestic churn in…

Roundtable 11-5 on Rising Titans, Falling Giants: How Great Powers Exploit Power Shifts

October 28, 2019October 27, 2019 By David Edelstein, Kyle M. Lascurettes, Paul K. MacDonald, Evan Braden Montgomery, Joshua R. Itzkowitz Shifrinson

In Rising Titans, Falling States: How Great Powers Exploit Power Shifts, Joshua Shifrinson offers an essential contribution to the renascent literature in international relations on rising great powers.[1] While much of this literature has focused on the strategies that declining powers adopt toward rising powers, Shifrinson flips this question on its head, inquiring about the…

Review Essay 47 on Twilight of the Titans: Great Power Decline and Retrenchment

February 1, 2019January 26, 2019 By Philip Zelikow

Paul MacDonald and Joseph Parent bring to book-length form a very sensible and persuasive argument that they have been making for some time. Great power decline is not necessarily dangerous or even destabilizing. Countries can pursue strategies of retrenchment, either of “self-help” by cutting back spending or rejuvenating their economy, or of external adjustment in…

Roundtable 10-22 on Aftershocks: Great Powers and Domestic Reforms in the Twentieth Century

January 28, 2019January 26, 2019 By Susan Hyde, David M. Edelstein, Kyle M. Lascurettes, Seva Gunitsky

Some policy-relevant books grow less relevant as time passes from the moment they are published, much like the value of a new car once the owner drives it off the lot. Seva Gunitsky’s Great Powers and Domestic Reforms in the Twentieth Century, published in 2017 by Princeton University Press, is a book that has grown…

Article Review 45 on “The Inscrutable Intentions of Great Powers.”

November 27, 2015February 2, 2017 By Brandon Yoder, Kyle Haynes

In his recent article “The Inscrutable Intentions of Great Powers,” Sebastian Rosato argues that it is far more difficult for states to signal their intentions than existing scholarship recognizes. He claims that the various signaling mechanisms proposed in the IR literature — both domestic-level characteristics and international-level behaviors — “at best…allow for marginal reductions in…

Roundtable 7-13 on The Great Powers and the International System Systemic Theory in Empirical Perspective

February 22, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

It is difficult for me to imagine an international relations (IR) scholar not being interested enough in Bear Braumoeller’s The Great Powers and the International System to read this review symposium. I’ll warrant that I’m biased on the matter, having been nurtured on systemic IR theory as an undergraduate and graduate student, liking books that…
