{"product_id":"the-rise-of-regions-conflict-and-cooperation-9781538171158","title":"The Rise of Regions: Conflict and Cooperation","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis timely book presents fresh, forward-looking analyses of key regions across the globe, organized around power transition theory. Tracking political and economic trajectories broadly, the contributors use cutting-edge data to forecast general trends in regional politics, economics, and diplomacy. Their collective insights into the likely directions of regional dynamics within a changing global order comprise an invaluable guidebook for forward-thinking readers considering where the world is headed in the coming decades and the implications for strategy, politics, and policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this exciting new book, Tammen, Kugler, and colleagues provide a road map for international relations in the coming decades. They anchor their analyses in the latest research about power transition theory and apply that theory to a wide range of regional settings. This is the best book about the prospects for war and peace in the world’s regions and quite possibly the best book about power transition theory itself. The Rise of Regions is a must read for students of international conflict and cooperation, for scholars of international relations theory, and for scholars or practitioners interested in the prospects for regional conflict and cooperation. The authors employ many engaging graphics that make the work accessible to all readers, and consequently, it is appropriate for college courses at any level and will be of interest to non-academics interested in a rigorous and engaging appraisal of what to expect across the world’s regions in the years to come. -- Douglas Lemke, Pennsylvania State University\u003cbr\u003eThis timely book is relevant for both scholars and students. At a time of rising and declining major and regional powers, and during a phase in international politics when regional politics have become at least as salient as global politics, this work focuses on the intersection between modern power transition theory and the comparative study of regions. Rigorous scientific comparative analysis of international regions has been in short supply; this effort moves such inquiry forward through both a compatible theoretical framework that makes regional hierarchy a central part of the analysis, and, through its regional case studies, the work provides a roadmap for substantial empirical analysis of conflict and cooperative processes across regions. -- Thomas J.
