This view condemns the world to endless conflict for the indefinite future. Based upon careful attention to actual historical outcomes, this book contends that, while some countries and leaders have demonstrated excessive power drives, others have essentially underplayed their power and sought less position and influence than their comparative strength might have justified. Featuring case studies from across the globe, History and Neorealism examines how states have actually acted. The authors conclude that leadership, domestic politics, and the domain (of gain or loss) in which they reside play an important role along with international factors in raising the possibility of a world in which conflict does not remain constant and, though not eliminated, can be progressively reduced. 517 3 $aHistory & Neorealism 606 $aRealism$xPolitical aspects 606 $aWorld politics$y20th century 606 $aWorld politics$y20th century$vCase studies 606 $aWorld politics$xPhilosophy 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aRealism$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aWorld politics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences)$xHistory 676 $a327.101 702 $aMay$b Ernest R. 702 $aRosecrance$b Richard N. 702 $aSteiner$b Zara 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785496103321 996 $aHistory and neorealism$9242817 997 $aUNINA
