The bipolar structure of the Cold War allowed a certain stability
in world politics that, with the demise of the Soviet Union, is now
missing. Does this mean that we can expect greater instability
because of this structural transition from bipolarity to
multipolarity? Or should we feel reassured that changes on the
state level such as democratization and the transition to market
economies that are occurring in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and
to some extent, in the Soviet successor states, are in effect
promoting peace?
"When Opponents Cooperate" resolves the issue by formulating a new
theory of international relations that integrates state-level
analyses. The key is to focus on intended and unintended outcomes
of cooperation and conflict. The author argues that structural
factors can account for the unintended crisis outcomes (inadvertent
wars and tact-spontaneous cooperation in crisis management), but
state-level factors explain intended outcomes (such as intentional
cooperation in conflict resolution) during non-crisis times. He
tests the validity of his theoretical model in a variety of
situations, though he emphasizes recent postwar events in the
Middle East. While his argument will appeal to international
relations theorists, his in-depth accounts of great power crisis
and cooperation in the Middle East will be of particular interest
to security and foreign policy specialists.
