"For the third time in this troubled century and following the end
of the Cold War and the tragic events in the former Yugoslavia, the
world is challenged to create a stable and enduring world order. In
this pathbreaking book, Ikenberry draws upon novel theoretical
insights and historical experience to determine what policies and
strategies work best as the United States attempts to lead in the
struggles to create a new world order. . A major contribution to IR
theory and to thinking about international order."--Robert Gilpin,
Princeton University
"Through careful, thorough, and subtle analysis of the diplomacy
of the post-war settlements of 1815, 1919, 1945, and 1989--91, John
Ikenberry addresses in "After Victory" three major questions for
the study of world politics: how do major-state victors seek to
translate their military success into a sustainable political
order; why do secondary-state partners accept the order so
constructed by the major victors; and why have post-war settlements
become progressively based on institutional principles and
practices? In its theoretical boldness, historical sweep, policy
relevance, and sheer elegance of analysis and presentation, few
books published in the past quarter-century in the field of
international relations are the equal of "After Victory,""--Joseph
Grieco, Duke University
""After Victory" is an extremely important inquiry into the
origins of postwar order in international relations--the key
analytic and policy issue of our time. Ikenberry's book is unique
in its theoretical and empirical sweep. In contrast to realists,
for whom international orders are epiphenomenal and transient, and
constructivists, who see order emerging fromshared worldviews and
norms, Ikenberry adopts a historical sociological framework. He
argues that states self-consciously create institutions to bind
themselves and others in international orders that reduce the
'returns to power'."--David A. Lake, University of California, San
Diego
""After Victory" argues that political primacy is achieved best
through a strategy of limiting the unilateral exercise of power.
This book engages contemporary political debates, and it
illuminates these debates with an informative set of historical
case studies. All serious students of international relations and
all practitioners of foreign policy will want to come to terms with
John Ikenberry's elegant and learned analysis."--Peter Katzenstein,
Cornell University
