As a rising great power flexes its muscles on the
political-military scene it must examine how to manage its
relationships with states suffering from decline; and it has to do
so in a careful and strategic manner. In Rising Titans, Falling
Giants Joshua R. Itzkowitz Shifrinson focuses on the policies that
rising states adopt toward their declining competitors in response
to declining states’ policies, and what that means for the
relationship between the two. Rising Titans, Falling Giants
integrates disparate approaches to realism into a single
theoretical framework, provides new insight into the sources of
cooperation and competition in international relations, and offers
a new empirical treatment of great power politics at the start and
end of the Cold War. Shifrinson challenges the existing historical
interpretations of diplomatic history, particularly in terms of the
United States-China relationship. Whereas many analysts argue that
these two nations are on a collision course, Shifrinson declares
instead that rising states often avoid antagonizing those in
decline, and highlights episodes that suggest the US-China
relationship may prove to be far less conflict-prone than we might
expect.
