Editorial Reviews
Review
"This detailed structural theory work extends the international hierarchy of power concept on which power transition theory is based to include regional and local constellations of power.... Recommended." Choice
"...Lemke has demonstrated substantial empirical support for his important theoretical extension of power and transition theory. In doing so, he provides a superb model for rigorous and systematic quantitative empirical research in the face of some very difficult methodological problems." Political Science Quarterly
Product Description
Douglas Lemke inquires as to whether the factors that lead to war among great powers also apply to other countries, considering different regional circumstances and historical experiences. The book examines Africa, the Far East, the Middle East and South America, and argues that the causes of war are similar across these regions, but that there are differences based on varying patterns of development. This book will interest students and scholars of international relations, peace studies, comparative politics and area studies.
