The update of this classic treatise on the
behavior of great powers takes a penetrating look at the question likely
to dominate international relations in the twenty-first century: Can
China rise peacefully? To John J. Mearsheimer, great power politics are
tragic because the anarchy of the international system requires states
to seek dominance at one another s expense, dooming even peaceful
nations to a relentless power struggle. The best survival strategy in
this dangerous world is to become a regional hegemon like the United
States in the Western Hemisphere and to make sure that no other hegemon
emerges elsewhere. In a new concluding chapter, Mearsheimer examines the
course of Sino-American relations should China continue its ascent to
greater economic and military power. He predicts that China will attempt
to dominate Asia while the United States, determined to remain the
world s sole regional hegemon, will go to great lengths to contain
China. The tragedy of great power politics is inescapable."
