How do we interpret the recent changes in world politics and what is the future likely to hold? The contributors to this volume share an assumption that history repeats itself. The book places the events of the past few years in broad historical context, examining how the political, military and economic arrangements of the past are reflected in current events. By tracing historical patterns in Western Europe, Russia, East Asia, Latin America and the United States, the contributors aim to provide a new perspective on the pressing questions and conflicts that characterize international politics now and in the years to come.
Introduction -- The End of the Seventy-Years' Crisis -- Mitteleuropa and East Asia -- Taming of Power -- The Riddle of the Rhine -- Transforming Russia -- East Asia's America Problem -- Pax (Norte) Americana -- After Desert Storm
