This creates a diversity in strategies that is often overlooked in theoretically oriented analyses. The book examines how five major powers - the United States, China, the United Kingdom, France and Russia - have adjusted their strategies to improve or maintain their relative position and to manage power asymmetries during the twenty-first century. It also develops and applies an analytical framework for exploring and categorising the strategies pursued by the five major powers which combines elements of structural realism with research on power transition theory and status competition. The concluding chapter addresses questions related to stability and change in the present international system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students of strategic studies, foreign policy, and International Relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e H虧an Edstr, Jacob Westberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367743191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367743192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"H虧an Edstr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993013747967,"sku":"9780367743192","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba1421e7-4878-4611-87e9-27855902dd10.jpg?v=1683322041","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/military-strategy-of-great-powers-hkan-edstrm-9780367743192","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
