This book provides the first detailed analysis of international
rivalries, the long-standing and often violent confrontations
between the same pairs of states. The book addresses conceptual
components of rivalries and explores the origins, dynamics, and
termination of the most dangerous form of rivalry--enduring
rivalry--since 1816.
Paul Diehl and Gary Goertz identify 1166 rivalries since 1816. They
label sixty-three of those as enduring rivalries. These include the
competitions between the United States and Soviet Union, India and
Pakistan, and Israel and her Arab neighbors. The authors explain
how rivalries form, evolve, and end.
The first part of the book deals with how to conceptualize and
measure rivalries and presents empirical patterns among rivalries
in the period 1816-1992. The concepts derived from the study of
rivalries are then used to reexamine two central pieces of
international relations research, namely deterrence and "democratic
peace" studies. The second half of the book builds an explanation
of enduring rivalries based on a theory adapted from evolutionary
biology, "punctuated equilibrium."
The study of international rivalries has become one of the
centerpieces of behavioral research on international conflict. This
book, by two of the scholars who pioneered such studies, is the
first comprehensive treatment of the subject. It will become the
standard reference for all future studies of rivalries.
