A history of power politics from the construction of the German
battlefleet to Gorbachev's 'new thinking'. The unwillingness of all
the Great Powers to recognise that war, in Ivan Bloch's 1899
phrase, had become 'impossible except at the price of suicide',
resulted in two unprecedentedly great wars. These in turn gave
impetus to a decline of power politics which gathered pace after
1945. Nuclear weapons imposed a straitjacket which Soviet
revisionism was unable to break out of. Moral revulsion,
technological advance and economic growth facilitated the emergence
of a norm-based 'accomodatory' culture, which now offers a basis
for a wider post-Cold War order.
