From the turn of the 15th century until the Cuban Missile Crisis in
1962, the great powers frequently fought wars or regularly stood on
the precipice of conflict. In contrast, for more than fifty years
we have lived through an unprecedented period of great power peace.
This book advances a theory of change based on the Realist
tradition and uses it to explain the transformation of great power
politics from centuries of warfare and multipolarity to a time of
peace and American primacy.Challenging conventional wisdom about
the causes of American primacy, Baron explores the contributions to
peace made by democracy, nuclear weapons and globalization as well
as the continued relevance of the balance of power. Providing new
insights into major debates within the policy community, this book
examines America's forward military presence, Western policy
towards China and Russia, the evolution of the European Union and
Japan's role in Asia.Baron raises important questions surrounding
American primacy and the durability of the current international
order, informing policy-making in the coming years as the United
States attempts to manage the rise of China and secure its own
leadership role and also considering how to maintain the current
state of peace.
