In this work, international relations scholar Steve Chan reconsiders IR realism, and specifically power-transition theory and its more recent rendition as Thucydides' Trap, in the context of Sino-American relations. Thucydides' Trap warns that whenever a rising power catches up to an established one, the probability of war occurring between them rises. Chan argues that this warning is based on questionable logic and evidence even though a conflict may occur for reasons other than or in addition to power transition. Popular and even scholarly narratives of an ongoing or impending power transition between China and the United States can be seriously misleading because they overlook important considerations, like network-based power and the persistence of peace. Such narratives can even be dangerous to the extent that they abet a variety of political and psychological responses that cause misjudgment, thereby bringing about a self-fulfilling prophecy"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 327.112 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList
