Using the frameworks provided by structural realism, institutionalism and liberalism, \u003cem\u003eThe Post-Cold War International System\u003c\/em\u003e examines how major powers responded to the collapse of the Soviet Union and developed their foreign policies over the period of post-Cold War transition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book argues that the democratic peace has begun to generate powerful socialisation effects, due to the emergence of a critical mass of liberal democratic states since the end of the Cold War. The trend this has produced is similar to a pattern that classical realists have interpreted as 'bandwagoning' within a unipolar power structure. Case studies of Germany, China and Japan - identified as key states with the potential to challenge US dominance - provide evidence to support the assessment of international change. The author concludes by exploring the implications of September 11th for the analysis developed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis important volume argues that the end of the Cold War was a major historical turning point in the development of world politics with fundamental implications for the basic way in which the dynamics of the international system are conceptualised.","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46929557061783,"sku":"9780415328364","price":10902.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415328364.webp?v=1771600568","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-post-cold-war-international-system-strategies-institutions-and-reflexivity-9780415328364","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
