In Fateful Transitions, Daniel M. Kliman revisits historic power shifts to shed light on enduring patterns in international relations, demonstrating that the regime type of ascendant powers greatly influences global interactions. Since the late nineteenth century, the world's major democracies have tended to accommodate or conciliate ascendant democratic states. Certain attributes of democracy, such as a free press and domestic checks and balances, encourage trust during power shifts, whereas closed and autocratic regimes on the ascent tend to produce a cycle of suspicion, competition, and confrontation. Drawing on democratic peace theory and power transition theory, Kliman compares Great Britain's embrace of U.S. ascendancy in the early twentieth century to its confrontational stance toward autocratic Germany and later U.S. mistrust of the Soviet Union. Within this geopolitical context, he evaluates the interactions between China and current great powers, the United States and Japan. Building on this analysis, Kliman offers new insights into the dynamics of power shifts and explores their implications for how today's established and emerging powers can successfully navigate fateful transitions. 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aInternational relations$vCase studies 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aSecurity, International$vCase studies 606 $aGreat powers 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aInternational relations 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aSecurity, International 615 0$aGreat powers. 676 $a327.09/04 700 $aKliman$b Daniel M.$01053627 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459888703321 996 $aFateful transitions$92485639 997 $aUNINA
