In the twenty-five years after 1989, the world enjoyed the deepest
peace in history. In The Rise and Fall of Peace on Earth, the
eminent foreign policy scholar Michael Mandelbaum examines that
remarkable quarter century, describing how and why the peace was
established and then fell apart. To be sure, wars took place in
this era, but less frequently and on a far smaller scale than in
previous periods. Mandelbaum argues that the widespread peace ended
because three major countries - Vladimir Putin's Russia in Europe,
Xi Jinping's China in East Asia, and the Shia clerics' Iran in the
Middle East - put an end to it with aggressive nationalist policies
aimed at overturning the prevailing political arrangements in their
respective regions. The three had a common motive: their need to
survive in a democratic age with their countries' prospects for
economic growth uncertain. Mandelbaum further argues that the key
to the return of peace lies in the advent of genuine democracy,
including free elections and the protection of religious, economic,
and political liberty. Yet, since recent history has shown that
democracy cannot be imposed from the outside, The Rise and Fall of
Peace on Earth has a dual message: while the world has a formula
for peace, there is no way to ensure that all countries will
embrace it.
