TThe Rise and Fall of the Great Powers – Economic Change and Military Conflict from 1500 to 2000. About national and international power in the “modern” or Post Renaissance period.

Kennedy’s masterwork begins in the year 1500, at a time of various great centres of power including Minh China, the Ottomans, the rising Mughal state, the nations of Europe. But it was the latter which, through competition, economic growth and better military organisation, came to dominate the globe – until challenged later by Japan, the Soviet Union, and the United States.

Now China, boosted by its own economic prowess, rises to the fore. Throughout this brilliant work, Kennedy persuasively demonstrates the interdependence of economic and military power, showing how an imbalance between the two has historically led to spectacular political disaster.

Kennedy’s excellent book explains how the various powers have risen and fallen over the 5 centuries since the formation of the “new monarchies” in W. Europe.

With illustrations and bibliography.
