But as Rob de Wijk shows in this book, power politics very much remains a force on the international scene. Offering analyses of such actions as Putin's annexation of the Crimea and China's attempts to claim large parts of the South China Sea, de Wijk explains why power politics never truly went away-and why, as the West's position weakens, it's likely to play a bigger and bigger role on the global stage in the coming years. 606 $aBalance of power 615 0$aBalance of power. 676 $a327.112 700 $aWijk$b Rob de$f1954-$01038590 702 $aCollingwood$b Vivien 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460845003321 996 $aPower politics$92460291 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02484nam 2200613 450 001 9910786603003321 005 20230126213312.0 010 $a0-7391-9134-9 035 $a(CKB)3710000000214164 035 $a(EBL)1758441 035 $a(OCoLC)886112219 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001289080 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12487160 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001289080 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11294714 035 $a(PQKB)11692823 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1758441 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1758441 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10904692 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL633826 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000214164 100 $a20140814h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aHuman security and Sierra Leone's post-conflict development /$fFrancis Wiafe-Amoako ; foreword by Ali A.
