Intentions in Great Power Politics
2021
Overview
Why the future of great power politics is likely to
resemble its dismal past Can great powers be confident
that their peers have benign intentions? States that trust each
other can live at peace; those that mistrust each other are doomed
to compete for arms and allies and may even go to war. Sebastian
Rosato explains that states routinely lack the kind of information
they need to be convinced that their rivals mean them no harm. Even
in cases that supposedly involved mutual trust-Germany and Russia
in the Bismarck era; Britain and the United States during the great
rapprochement; France and Germany, and Japan and the United States
in the early interwar period; and the Soviet Union and United
States at the end of the Cold War-the protagonists mistrusted each
other and struggled for advantage. Rosato argues that the
ramifications of his argument for U.S.-China relations are
profound: the future of great power politics is likely to resemble
its dismal past.
