The Great Powers Versus the Hegemon

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a study of great power relations - China, India, and Russia - among themselves and with the hegemon - United States. Ahrari argues that the next decade may witness the emergence of a bipolar order where China's dominance in economics is certain; however, China will not seriously challenge the military dominance of the U.S.

'Ehsan Ahrari has done a superb job in this book, providing a realistic and stark picture of how the global economic crisis affects great power relations in the first decade of the 21st Century. This is an excellent book to focus the minds of strategic thinkers and policy makers on the security climate they face.' Larry M.
