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 610 $aPolitical Science. 610 $aPublic Policy. 615 0$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.$01600909 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820912003321 996 $aFateful transitions$93924252 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03967nam 22006615 450 001 9910483978103321 005 20251113185704.0 010 $a3-030-61962-1 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-61962-6 035 $a(CKB)4100000011781426 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6511405 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6511405 035 $a(OCoLC)1241444657 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-61962-6 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011781426 100 $a20210301d2021 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 13$aAn Economist?s Lessons on Happiness $eFarewell Dismal Science! /$fby Richard A.

In this book Richard Easterlin, the ?father of happiness economics,? draws on a half-century of his own research and that conducted by fellow economists and psychologists to answer in plain language questions like: Can happiness be measured? Will more money make me happier? What about finding a partner? Getting married? Having a baby? More exercise? Does religion help? Who is happier?women or men, young or old, rich or poor? How does happiness change as we go through different stages of life? Public policy is also in the mix: Can the government increase people?s happiness? Should the government increase their happiness? Which countries are the happiest and why? Does a country need to be rich to be happy? Does economic growth improve the human lot? Some of the answers are surprising (no, more money won?t do the trick; neither will economicgrowth; babies are a mixed blessing!), but they are all based on reason and well-vetted evidence from the fields of economics and psychology. In closing, Easterlin traces the genesis of the ongoing ?Happiness Revolution? and considers its implications for people?s lives down the road. 410 0$aEconomics and Finance Series 606 $aExperimental economics 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aEconomics$xPsychological aspects 606 $aSocial choice 606 $aWelfare economics 606 $aExperimental Economics 606 $aQuality of Life Research 606 $aEconomic Psychology 606 $aSocial Choice and Welfare 615 0$aExperimental economics. 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 0$aEconomics$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aSocial choice. 615 0$aWelfare economics. 615 14$aExperimental Economics. 615 24$aQuality of Life Research. 615 24$aEconomic Psychology. 615 24$aSocial Choice and Welfare. 676 $a330.019 676 $a330.019 700 $aEasterlin$b Richard A.$f1926-2024,$01803911 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483978103321 996 $aAn Economist?s Lessons on Happiness$94488258 997 $aUNINA
