Drawing in lessons from 400 years of Great-Power politics, this
volume challenges both the "declinist" arguments and the
overstretched hypothesis of Paul Kennedy to develop an alternative
approach to the debate on the rise and fall of the Great Powers.
The first half of the book compares the Spanish, Dutch and the
First and Second British world orders. It identifies their common
features in order to find the most salient causes for their rise as
world powers, and the most probable reasons for their decline. The
second half of the book addresses the American world order in the
20th century, from Pax Americana to the End of US Hegemony. The
author sees the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the resurgence
of the US as evidence of the role played by normative dimensions,
commonly underestimated in International Relations analysis.
Theoretically challenging, Knutsen's volume provides a fresh
approach to debates in international relations aimed at both
students and scholars. -- .
