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.\u003cbr\u003eErudite and brilliantly original, The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the politics of power.\u003cbr\u003e‘Tinged with a genius that unravels complexity’ Evening Standard\u003cbr\u003e‘Outstanding’ Observer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMint Condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDispatch same day for order received before 12 noon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuaranteed packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo quibbles returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"William Collins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59659414569041,"sku":"0006860524","price":41300.0,"currency_code":"CLP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/6455\/3809\/files\/61QbBtRkcgL.jpg?v=1781637812","url":"https:\/\/provetodo.cl\/es-cl\/products\/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-great-powers-five-hundred-years-of-history-of-fluctuating-economic-muscle-and-military-might","provider":"Provetodo ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
