Drawing from recent advances in social theory and constructivist approaches, Bruce Cronin demonstrates how these cohesive structures evolve from a series of discrete events and processes that help to diminish the conceptual boundaries dividing societies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommunity Under Anarchy\u003c\/i\u003e supports this thesis through a new and original interpretation of the Concert of Europe, the Holy Alliance, and the political integration of Italy and Germany. In the wake of the upheavals created by the French Revolution and the revolutions of 1848, political elites helped to validate new forms of governance by creating transnational reference groups from which they could draw legitimacy. As a result, European states were able to overcome the polarizing effects of anarchy and create a concert system, a common security association, and two amalgamated security communities. The empirical cases demonstrate how socially derived identities can shape state preferences and create new roles for state leaders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Cronin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231115970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231115971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Bruce Cronin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448784236799,"sku":"9780231115971","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2357a590-3020-475c-98fa-4d530322e1b1.jpg?v=1777260528","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/community-under-anarchy-bruce-cronin-9780231115971","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
