Recenzje

Thompson has been one of the major scholars contributing to our understanding of international politics. At a time when scholars are focused on the rise of China and the alleged decline of the US, his most recent work in this area could not be more timely. And unlike most approaches to the rise and decline of powers today, this one is correctly placed in the context of long-term dynamics that help explain where we are now and where we are heading. Combining rigorous theory with new data on military and economic capabilities, along with a strong historical perspective, this excellent contribution to the field of international relations should be on the desks of both scholars and students in the field." -Thomas J. Volgy, The University of Arizona
