Russia, China and the Revisionist Assault on the Western Liberal International Order

Více o knize

The book explores the motivations behind Russian and Chinese revisionism in response to the US-led post-Cold War liberal international order. It presents a neoclassical realist framework, arguing that states adopt revisionist stances when their vital security needs are threatened and they possess the means to challenge the status quo. The analysis highlights the transition from strategic and resentful accommodation in the 1990s to constructive and destructive revisionism by the late 2000s. The author advocates for a neo-containment policy to address these challenges.
