This volume critiques contemporary power trends by examining key
bilateral dynamics between five putative 'poles' of the multipolar
order in the twenty-first century. Written by emerging scholars and
established academics, this work provides a timely and
authoritative analysis of one of the most controversial and
compelling security debates of the twenty-first century. Adopting a
detailed case study approach, the volume examines contemporary
great power relations between the US, China, Russia, India and the
EU. Each chapter explores the essential nature and characteristics
of individual inter-state relationships in order to explicate and
appraise the empirical evidence for a putative multipolar order.
The volume aims to deepen understanding of power trends and
critically assess the individual inter-dynamics at play. In doing
so, it critiques the various models offered, such as the hub and
spoke model (with the US remaining as the primary actor) and
Zakaria's 'networked' model, as part of a purported 'post-American
world'. The work places each of the individual relationships into a
wider strategic and political context, in relation to the continued
international turbulence and change that has seemed even more
prominent in recent times, taking into account the twin challenges
of Brexit and the presidency of Donald Trump. It concludes by
returning the focus to the central questions of if, how and when a
post-American, multipolar world could develop. This volume will be
of much interest to students of global security, foreign policy,
and IR in general.
