Description: "The Power-Conflict Story develops and applies a dynamic formal model to explain the behavioral patterns of major world rivalries since 1816. Using examples such as the rise of the United States as a world power and the corresponding fall a British imperial hegemony, Germany's unsuccessful attempt to overtake Britain during World War II, and Russia's rivalry with China during the early 1900s, Kelly Kadera presents novel predictions about which types of rivals win and what strategies they use.

The empirical record on national power levels and interstate conflict convincingly supports these predictions." "The Power-Conflict Story will appeal to students and scholars of international relations, world history, formal modeling, applied mathematics, numerical methods, and research methodology."--BOOK JACKET.
