Power is real, but it does not always prevail. This book explores
how disparity structures international relationships. Beginning at
the bilateral level, the relationship between the smaller side and
the larger side can be normal as long as the smaller does not feel
threatened and the larger can assume that its capabilities are
respected. However, the smaller can be tempted to brinksmanship,
while the larger can be tempted to bully. Asymmetric conflicts are
often stalemated because the limited commitment of the larger side
is met by the smaller's mortal resistance. In multilateral
situations, asymmetry shapes patterns of uncertainty and attention.
In global systems, how hegemons treat their subjects is the
unobserved sand shifting beneath their feet as they look toward
their challenger. Since 2008, the US has retained primacy but not
dominance. The management of asymmetric relationships in a
multinodal world will determine how power matters in the current
era.
